Use implicit differentiation to find an equation of the tangent line to the curve at the given point.
y^2(y^2−4)=x^2(x^2−5) at point (0,−2)

OK SAME PROCEDURE ONLY THIS TIME EASIER SINCE WE DID IT BEFORE
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[y ^{2}(y ^{2}-4)=x ^{2}(x ^{2}-5)\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
we open up the brackets
OpenStudy (anonymous):
do i have to use the product rule there
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[y ^{4}-4y ^{2}=x ^{4}-5x ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[4y ^{3}y'-8yy'=4x ^{3}-10x\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
from there i plug in x and y right
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[y'(4y ^{3}-8y)=4x ^{3}-10x\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
NO PRODUCT RULE HERE
OpenStudy (anonymous):
YOU USE PRODUCT RULE WHEN YOU HAVE XY

OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh okay
OpenStudy (anonymous):
LET ME GIVE YOU SOME RULES
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[\frac{ x }{ y }=xy ^{-1}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so even if you have x/y take it to the form above and use PRODUCT RULE IMPLICITLY
OpenStudy (anonymous):
BY THAT I MEAN WHEN YOU DIFFERENTIATE Y DONT FORGET TO ADD Y'

BUT WHEN YOU DIFFERENTIATE X JUST LET IT LIKE THAT
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok thats helpful
OpenStudy (anonymous):
NOW YOU SAW WHAT I DID UP THERE
JUST SUBSTITUTE YOUR VALUES X AND Y AND GET THE GRADIENT
OpenStudy (anonymous):
THEN YOU USE GRADIENT FOUND AND THE POINTS (X,Y) AND (0,-2) AND FIND THE EQUATION OF THE LINE
OpenStudy (anonymous):
IS IT OK

OpenStudy (anonymous):
is 16 correct
OpenStudy (anonymous):
LET ME CHECK
OpenStudy (anonymous):
YOUR GRADIENT IS SUPPOSE TO BE 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh i think i see where i messed up so for my final answer i got y=-2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
LET ME DO IT
\[y'=\frac{ 4x ^{3}-10x }{ 4y ^{3}-8y }\]

YOU SEE THAT X=0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
put 0 where x is and you see that your NUMERATOR WOULD BE 0
OpenStudy (anonymous):
IS IT FINE NOW
OpenStudy (anonymous):
THE EQUATION OF THE TANGENT IS Y=-2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
IS IT COOL NOW

yeah i see i think i put a sign wrong
