Q. Find the slope of the tangent line to the graph of −5y3+2y2−4=x at (3,−1).
Differentiate implicitly: First, we need to find the derivative of the equation with respect to y to get the slope of the tangent line. Since the equation is given in terms of y, we differentiate implicitly.dyd(−5y3+2y2−4)=dxd(x)−15y2+4y=1
Substitute y=−1: Next, substitute y=−1 into the derivative to find the slope at that specific point.−15(−1)2+4(−1)=−15+(−4)=−19
