Question

In calculus, we went over the subject of implicit differentiation. I feel pretty solid on how to do it, except when they give the problem with $\frac{dx}{dt}$ or $\frac{dx}{dy}$ instead of your standard $\frac{dy}{dx}$
How do you do these kinds of problems?

Answer 1

The same way.

$\dfrac{dy}{dx}$ means it's derivative of function $y$ with respect to $x$

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}$ means it's derivative of function $x$ with respect to $t$

$\dfrac{dx}{dy}$ means it's derivative of function $x$ with respect to $y$
