(a)

\

Implicit differentiation:

\

The equation is  \"\".

\

Differentiate on each side with respect to \"\".

\

\"\"

\

\"\".

\

\

(b)

\

Explicit differentiation:

\

The equation is \"\".

\

Solve for y.

\

\"\"

\

Differentiate above function with respect to \"\".

\

\"\".

\

\"\"

\

\"\".

\

\

(c)

\

Consider the solution in part (a): \"\".

\

The equation is \"\".

\

\"\".

\

Substitute \"\" in  \"\".

\

\"\"

\

\"\".

\

Thus, the result in part (a) and part (b) are equal.

\

\

(a) \"\".

\

(b) \"\" and  \"\".

\

(c) Results are consistent.
