AP Calculus AB: 6.1.1 An Introduction to Implicit Differentiation
This flashcard set introduces the concept of implicit differentiation, emphasizing the difference between functions and general relations. It explains how to use Leibniz notation to take derivatives of relations that aren't functions and includes foundational examples to build comfort with differentiation techniques applied beyond standard function forms.

Suppose a curve is defined by the equation(x−2)^2/4−(y+2)^2/9=1.Is this curve a function? Why or why not?
No, the curve is not a function because the curve does not pass the vertical line test.
