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
\[ \LARGE 12x+4yy'=0\quad\Rightarrow\quad y'=? \]
forgot - sign
shoot i forgot to add at point (2,-3)!!!!!
12*3/3*4=3
how about part b?
y+3=3(x-2)
so the answer is?..
y=3x-3
its saying that it is incorrect :(
ups sry: y=3x-9
still incorrect :(
y=2x-7
thats right thank you!! how about this one, same concept:
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=?
\[ \LARGE y'=-\frac{12x}{4y}=-\frac{3x}{y} \] \[ \LARGE y'|_{(2,-3)}=-\frac{3\cdot 2}{-3}=2 \] 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!
thank you helder!
i got that m=-3 but not the y=
could anyone help me with that part
