If a relation between x and y is such that y cannot be expressed in terms of x, then y is called implicit function of
x.
Assume a function, y = 6x2 - 11ey
This function can be rewritten as
y + 11ey = 6x2
But it is not possible to completely separate and represent it as a function of y. This type of function is known as
an implicit function.
To differentiate an implicit function, we consider y as a function of x and then we use the chain rule to
differentiate any term consisting of y.
Now to differentiate the above function, we differentiate directly w.r.t. x the entire function. This step basically
indicates the use of chain rule.

The given integral ∫ f(x) dx can be transformed into another form by changing the independent variable x to t
by substituting x = g(t)
Consider I = ∫ f(x)dx
We write dx = g'(t) dt
Thus I = ∫ f(x)dx = ∫ f(g(t)) g (t)dt

This change of variable formula is one of the important tools available to us in the name of integration by
substitution.
For example: ∫ 2x sin(x 2
