Worked solution
Collect the derivative terms in implicit relations
Find in terms of and when (a) , and (b) .
CJC · Lecture · Example 11
(a) Apply chain and product rules
On a differentiable local branch , differentiating gives . The right side needs both product terms, including the derivative of .
(a) Collect before dividing
, so where . This is the source answer. At a zero denominator, this division does not classify the point or prove a finite derivative exists.
(b) Follow the Teacher completion
The Student copy leaves this working blank; the Teacher supplies . Both factors in depend on .
(b) Solve for the local derivative
Rearrange to . Hence where the denominator is nonzero, as printed in the Teacher copy. Angles are in radians.
Common mistakes
Every differentiated function of y needs a dy/dx factor. Keep a product-rule term for each factor.
