Apply implicit differentiation by taking the derivative of both sides of the equation with respect to the differentiation variable. Apply the product rule for differentiation: (f\cdot g)'=f'\cdot g+f\cdot g', where f=x and g=y^2. The derivative of the linear function is equal to 1. The power rule for differentiation states that if n is a real number and f(x) = x^n, then f'(x) = nx^{n-1}.

Main Topic: Implicit Differentiation

Implicit differentiation makes use of the chain rule to differentiate implicitly defined functions. For differentiating an implicit function y(x), defined by an equation R(x, y) = 0, it is not generally possible to solve it explicitly for y(x) and then differentiate. Instead, one can differentiate R(x, y) with respect to x and y and then solve a linear equation in dy/dx for getting explicitly the derivative in terms of x and y.
