Find as directed the equation of the tangent line to the cur
Find, as directed, the equation of the tangent line to the curve implicitly defined as a function of x.y + 8ey = 8 + In(x) at the point(1,0) y2 - e2x = ex In(y) at the point (0,1)
Solution
a) differentiating,
dy/dx(1 + 8e^y) = 1/x
at (1,0)
dy/dx(1 +8) = 1/1
dy/dx = 1/9
hence, equation of line is :
y = 1/9(x-1)
x-9y = 1
b) differentiating,
2y(dy/dx) - 2e^(2x) = e^y((dy/dx)/y) + lny*e^x
(dy/dx)(2y- e^y/y) = 2e^(2x) + lny *e^x
at (0,1)
dy/dx(2-e) = 2 + 0
dy/dx = 2.784
hence, equation of line is :
y-1 = 2.783*(x-0)
2.783x - y + 1 = 0
