Do you know how to differentiate?
hartnn (hartnn):
did you try to explicitly differentiate the equation of the curve ?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yah isnt it....
OpenStudy (anonymous):
e^x+3x+2y(dx/dy)=0?

hartnn (hartnn):
derivative of x^3 is 3x^2
every thing else is correct! :)
OpenStudy (akashdeepdeb):
In this question, you have to differentiate the curve to find the slope of the curve at all 'x'.
And then substitute '0' for the x and '3' for the y to get the slope at (0,3).
hartnn (hartnn):
then just plug in x=0, y= 3 in that
OpenStudy (anonymous):
hold on
hartnn (hartnn):
also
derivative of
y^2 will be 2y dy/dx
isn't it ?

1?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
for some reason thats not one of my answer choices
hartnn (hartnn):
keep dy/dx as it is.
as it will be the slope of tangent at 0,3
e^0 + 3*0 +2(1) dy/dx = 0
get slope = dy/dx from here
OpenStudy (anonymous):
its not right

dy/dx=1...
hartnn (hartnn):
yeah, 1 is not correct
but did you try getting dy/dx from here ?
e^0 + 3*0 +2(3) dy/dx = 0
hartnn (hartnn):
e^0 =1
1+6dy/dx = 0
dy/dx =....?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
1/6?

hartnn (hartnn):
you would first SUBTRACT 1 from both sides, right ?
6 dy/dx = -1
dy/dx = -1/6
hartnn (hartnn):
and we are not done yet :P
OpenStudy (anonymous):
ok
hartnn (hartnn):
we need slope of normal
which is perpendicular to tangent
hartnn (hartnn):
slope of tangent = -1/6
any ideas on how to get slope of normal ?

y-f(a)=f'(a)(x-a)???
hartnn (hartnn):
just a simple rule
Product of slope of perpendicular lines = -1
hartnn (hartnn):
so,
slope of normal = m
m*(-1/6) = -1
find m from here
OpenStudy (anonymous):
m-6
hartnn (hartnn):
did you mean m=6 ?

yah
hartnn (hartnn):
then you're correct! :)

awsome thankyou, can u help me with another if I post it?
