Notes:
Explicit derivation: used to find the derivative of an explicit function, where y=3x+5, meaning y is clearly defined in terms of x. For y=3x+5, dy/dx=3.
Implicit derivation: used to find the derivative of an implicitly defined function, where the function is defined in terms of x and y (x and y are intermixed).
Example:
Bonus Opportunity: Find the equation of the tangent(s) of the Tschirnhausen cubic at x = -2.
