Full solution

Q. Find the slope of the tangent line to the graph of x=4y2+8y+3x = -4y^2 + 8y + 3 at (3,2)(3,2).
  1. Find Derivative of xx: First, we need to find the derivative of xx with respect to yy to get the slope of the tangent line. Since x=4y2+8y+3x = -4y^2 + 8y + 3, differentiate each term with respect to yy.
    dxdy=ddy(4y2)+ddy(8y)+ddy(3)\frac{dx}{dy} = \frac{d}{dy}(-4y^2) + \frac{d}{dy}(8y) + \frac{d}{dy}(3)
    dxdy=8y+8+0\frac{dx}{dy} = -8y + 8 + 0
  2. Substitute y=2y = 2: Next, substitute y=2y = 2 into the derivative to find the slope at the point (3,2)(3,2).\newlineSlope = 8(2)+8-8(2) + 8\newlineSlope = 16+8-16 + 8\newlineSlope = 8-8
