    An important class of implicit functions comprises those defined by equations of the form x-f(y)#61;0. Choosing y as the value means that the implicit function is the inverse of f. This type of implicit function is of particular interest when that inverse is not expressible as a closed-form expression, and thus is difficult to study directly.
