Q. If 2x=1+yxy2x = -1 + y - xy then find the equations of all tangent lines to the curve when y=5.y = -5.
  1. Differentiate Equation: First, we need to find the derivative of the given equation with respect to xx to find the slope of the tangent line at any point (x,y)(x, y) on the curve.\newlineThe given equation is 2x=1+yxy2x = -1 + y - xy.\newlineTo find the derivative, we will implicitly differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to xx.\newlineddx(2x)=ddx(1+yxy)\frac{d}{dx} (2x) = \frac{d}{dx} (-1 + y - xy)\newline2=0+dydx(yddx(x)+xddx(y))2 = 0 + \frac{dy}{dx} - (y \cdot \frac{d}{dx} (x) + x \cdot \frac{d}{dx} (y))\newline2=dydxyxdydx2 = \frac{dy}{dx} - y - x \cdot \frac{dy}{dx}\newlineNow, we solve for dydx\frac{dy}{dx} to find the slope of the tangent line.\newlinedydx(1+x)=2+y\frac{dy}{dx} (1 + x) = 2 + y\newlinedydx=2+y1+x\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{2 + y}{1 + x}
  2. Substitute y=5y = -5: Next, we substitute y=5y = -5 into the derivative to find the slope of the tangent line at the points where y=5y = -5.
    dydx=(2+(5))(1+x)\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{(2 + (-5))}{(1 + x)}
    dydx=(3)(1+x)\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{(-3)}{(1 + x)}
  3. Find x-coordinate: Now, we need to find the x-coordinates of the points on the curve where y=5y = -5. We substitute y=5y = -5 into the original equation to find xx.2x=1+(5)(5)x2x = -1 + (-5) - (-5)x2x=6+5x2x = -6 + 5x3x=63x = -6x=6/3x = -6 / 3x=2x = -2
  4. Find Specific Slope: We substitute x=2x = -2 into the derivative to find the specific slope of the tangent line at the point where y=5y = -5.dydx=31+(2)\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-3}{1 + (-2)}dydx=31\frac{dy}{dx} = \frac{-3}{-1}dydx=3\frac{dy}{dx} = 3
  5. Equation of Tangent Line: Now that we have the slope of the tangent line and a point on the curve x=2x = -2, y=5y = -5, we can use the point-slope form of the equation of a line to find the equation of the tangent line.\newlineThe point-slope form is: yy1=m(xx1)y - y_1 = m(x - x_1), where mm is the slope and (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) is the point on the line.\newlineUsing the point (2,5)(-2, -5) and the slope 33, the equation of the tangent line is:\newliney(5)=3(x(2))y - (-5) = 3(x - (-2))\newliney+5=3(x+2)y + 5 = 3(x + 2)
  6. Simplify Tangent Line: Finally, we simplify the equation of the tangent line to put it in slope-intercept form y=mx+by = mx + b.y+5=3x+6y + 5 = 3x + 6y=3x+65y = 3x + 6 - 5y=3x+1y = 3x + 1This is the equation of the tangent line to the curve at the point where y=5y = -5.
