It is not necessarily the case that a function will be written explicitly in terms of it’s independent variable. In these situations there is usually an expression that involves the independent variable(s) and the dependent variable implicitly. In this case implicit differentiation can be used to evaluate the derivative. An introduction to implicit differentiation and some practice exercises are provided.
