I have a F.O.C that implicitly defines a function



$x^*(b_R, pi)$



Given that I cannot solve for $x^*$ and that I am interested in $fracdx^*db_R$ and $fracdx^*dpi$ I implement implicit differentiation with respect to the variable of interest.



I then obtain



$fracdx^*db_R = some function of x, pi,b_R$.



by definition all of $x, pi, b_R in (0,1)$. I then plot the derivative with respect to say b_R, with $x$ on the x-axis.



However I still cannot figure out when this derivative is positive or negative as I vary $pi$ or $b_R$ (which are predetermined).



Here is the Desmos link, the derivates are the first and 9th functions:
