Use implicit differentiation to find an equation of the tangent line to the curve at the given point. y sin 12x = x cos 2y, (π/2, π/4)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

apply chain rule

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I got y'= (cos2y-12cos12x) / (sin12x+2xsin2y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I solved for slope and got 12/pi

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Correct me if I'm wrong.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y'sin12x + 12ycos12x = cos 2y -2xy'sin2y

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah and when you solve for y' it's equal to (cos2y-12cos12x) / (sin12x+2xsin2y) right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ur missing a y in ur numerator

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y' = (cos2y - 12ycos12x)/ (sin12x + 2xsin2y)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thanks. Lemme solve the rest of the problem and see what I would come up with for the slope.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

np

OpenStudy (anonymous):

y'=3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

im getting -3
