Use implicit differentiation to find the following:
6x^2+2y^2=42
(a) The slope of the tangent line at the indicated point on the graph
m=?
(b) The equation of the tangent line at the indicated point on the graph.
y=?

slope at m = 12x/4y
OpenStudy (helder_edwin):
\[ \LARGE 12x+4yy'=0\quad\Rightarrow\quad y'=? \]

forgot - sign

shoot i forgot to add at point (2,-3)!!!!!
OpenStudy (anonymous):
12*3/3*4=3

how about part b?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y+3=3(x-2)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so the answer is?..
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=3x-3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its saying that it is incorrect :(

ups sry:
y=3x-9
OpenStudy (anonymous):
still incorrect :(
OpenStudy (anonymous):
y=2x-7
OpenStudy (anonymous):
thats right thank you!!
how about this one, same concept:
OpenStudy (anonymous):
use implict differentiation to find the following:
6x^2-y^2=xy, (-1,3)
(a) The slope of the tangent line at the indicated point on the graph.
m=?
(b) The equation of the tangent line at the indicated point on the graph.
y=?

OpenStudy (helder_edwin):
\[ \LARGE y'=-\frac{12x}{4y}=-\frac{3x}{y} \]
\[ \LARGE y'|_{(2,-3)}=-\frac{3\cdot 2}{-3}=2 \]
the tangent line has equation
\[ \LARGE y-y_0=y'(x_0,y_0)\cdot(x-x_0) \]
so
\[ \LARGE y-(-3)=2(x-2) \]
\[ \LARGE y=2x-7 \]

you should be able to do the other problem on you own!
