In this case, we say that y is an implicit function of x. The process of implicit differentiation, we take the equation that generates an implicitly given curve and differentiate both sides with respect to x while treating y as a function of x.

The product and quotient rules now complement the constant multiple and sum rules and enable us to compute the derivative of any function that consists of sums, constant multiples, products, and quotients of basic functions we already know how to differentiate.

The sequence of partial sums of a series P∞ k=1 ak tells us about the convergence or divergence of the series. The series converges if the sequence of partial sums converges.

The instantaneous velocity of a moving object at a fixed time is estimated by considering average velocities on shorter and shorter time intervals that contain the instant of interest

Thus, any function with at least one antiderivative in fact has infinitely many, and the graphs of any two antiderivatives will differ only by a vertical translation.

In particular, the basic idea is to take a difficult problem and somehow slice it into more manageable pieces that we understand, and then use a definite integral to add up these simpler pieces.
