| This is just a general 89 question, but we just learned implicit differentiation in calculus and I wanted to know if there is a way to do it on the calculator. Also, what about graphing? |

| Shouldn't this be in Basic forum? |

Yes, it should.
I believe you use an undefined function in terms of the variable with respect to which you're differentiating. Example:
We want to differentiate x2+y2=1.
We write this as [font="courier new;font-size:9pt;line-height:100%;color:darkblue"]d(x2+y(x)2=1,x).
We get an equation in terms of y, dy/dx, and x. If that's all you need, great. If not, we edit the equation and replace [font="courier new;font-size:9pt;line-height:100%;color:darkblue"]d(y(x),x) with another variable such as [font="courier new;font-size:9pt;line-height:100%;color:darkblue"]dydx. Then we [font="courier new;font-size:9pt;line-height:100%;color:darkblue"]solve(2*y(x)*dydx+2*x=0,dydx) to get our final answer, dy/dx = -x/y.
For some reason, this also returned the warning "may return false equation" when I tested it. So make sure to check your answers.

Thanks.
[EDIT]
I wrote a program to do implicit differentiation and I wanted to know if it's possible to display an answer on the home screen instead of the I/O screen (I know 84 BASIC but I'm not very familiar with 89). Also, is it possible to graph a function like yx^2+y^2=2x without solving for y?

If you update your operating system to 3.10, I think implicit differentiation would become an option available under the Calc menu (listed as impDif()). However, this might apply only to TI-89 Titanium, though I'm not sure.
In any case, it wouldn't hurt to update your calculator's operating system.

[post="88847"]<{POST_SNAPBACK}>[/post] To display an answer on the home screen, make a function (you can't change a program into a function, but you can make a new function and recall a program into it). You'll have to use Local variables everywhere, but that's a good idea to do anyway. So when the function returns an answer, that answer will be displayed on the home screen.
You can't graph an implicit equation (it's not, in point of fact, a function) that easily. You can however, do the following:
Code:
y*x^2+y^2=2x->eqn
zeros(left(eqn)-right(eqn),y)->y1(x)
