Q. If 2x=−1+y−xy then find the equations of all tangent lines to the curve when y=−5.
Differentiate Equation: First, we need to find the derivative of the given equation with respect to x to find the slope of the tangent line at any point (x,y) on the curve.The given equation is 2x=−1+y−xy.To find the derivative, we will implicitly differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to x.dxd(2x)=dxd(−1+y−xy)2=0+dxdy−(y⋅dxd(x)+x⋅dxd(y))2=dxdy−y−x⋅dxdyNow, we solve for dxdy to find the slope of the tangent line.dxdy(1+x)=2+ydxdy=1+x2+y
Substitute y=−5: Next, we substitute y=−5 into the derivative to find the slope of the tangent line at the points where y=−5. dxdy=(1+x)(2+(−5)) dxdy=(1+x)(−3)
Find x-coordinate: Now, we need to find the x-coordinates of the points on the curve where y=−5. We substitute y=−5 into the original equation to find x.2x=−1+(−5)−(−5)x2x=−6+5x3x=−6x=−6/3x=−2
Find Specific Slope: We substitute x=−2 into the derivative to find the specific slope of the tangent line at the point where y=−5.dxdy=1+(−2)−3dxdy=−1−3dxdy=3
Equation of Tangent Line: Now that we have the slope of the tangent line and a point on the curve x=−2, y=−5, we can use the point-slope form of the equation of a line to find the equation of the tangent line.The point-slope form is: y−y1=m(x−x1), where m is the slope and (x1,y1) is the point on the line.Using the point (−2,−5) and the slope 3, the equation of the tangent line is:y−(−5)=3(x−(−2))y+5=3(x+2)
Simplify Tangent Line: Finally, we simplify the equation of the tangent line to put it in slope-intercept formy=mx+b.y+5=3x+6y=3x+6−5y=3x+1This is the equation of the tangent line to the curve at the point where y=−5.
