Find the equation of tangent and normal line to the given curves.. 1.) x^2 + y^2 = 25; (-3,-4) 2.) x^2/32 + y^2/2 =1; (-4,1) 3.) x^2 -6x+2y-8=0; x=0
Same step as the other topic. You need to solve it in order to "y" then you need to derivate the given curves then you need to use this formula: y=f′(a)(x−a)+f(a) and now you have the equation of the tangent. Something like y=mx+b To find the normal line you just need to do m=1/m
hmmm maybe not
for 1 take the derivative and get \[2x+2yy'=0\] \[y'=-\frac{x}{y}\]
so at \[(-3,-4)\] the slope is \[-\frac{3}{4}\] and equation of tangent line is \[y+4=-\frac{3}{4}(x+3)\] equation of normal line is \[y+4=\frac{4}{3}(x+3)\]
second one i cannot read
it means Xsquared over 32 + ysquared over 2 =1
Ellipse is same as circle, implicit diff/normal etc and last is just a normal quadratic.
