Question

Find the equation of the tangent line to (x^2=4)y=8 at the point (-2,1)

Answer 1

typo?

Answer 2

No, thats the exact question!

Answer 3

what does it mean
\[(x^2=4)y=8\]?

Answer 4

(x^2-4)y=8, sorry! I didnt see the equal sign!

Answer 5

ok i got it .
you can star wth
\[y=\frac{8}{x^2-4}\] then take the derivative and find the slope at x = -2
you need the steps?

Answer 6

hold the phone something else is wrong...

Answer 7

(-2,-1) is not on the graph.

Answer 8

if you replace x by -2 you get 0 on the left and 8 on the right, so there is a problem here
