To solve the given problems, we will follow these steps:
a. Implicit Differentiation: Differentiate the given equation implicitly with respect to x. This involves applying the chain rule and product rule where necessary.
b. Slope of the Tangent Line: Use the result from implicit differentiation to find the derivative dxdy and evaluate it at the point (2,1).
c. Equation of the Tangent Line: Use the point-slope form of a line equation, y−y1=m(x−x1), where m is the slope found in part b, and (x1,y1) is the point (2,1).
Given the function:
4x2y2+5xy=26
We need to differentiate implicitly with respect to x. Using the product rule and chain rule, we differentiate each term:
Differentiate 4x2y2:
- Use the product rule: u=4x2 and v=y2.
- dxd(uv)=u′v+uv′.
- u′=8x and v′=2ydxdy.
- So, dxd(4x2y2)=8xy2+4x2(2ydxdy)=8xy2+8x2ydxdy.
Differentiate 5xy:
- Use the product rule: u=5x and v=y.
- u′=5 and v′=dxdy.
- So, dxd(5xy)=5y+5xdxdy.
Differentiate the constant 26:
- The derivative of a constant is 0.
Putting it all together, the implicit differentiation of the function is:
8xy2+8x2ydxdy+5y+5xdxdy=0
To find the slope of the tangent line at the point (2,1), substitute x=2 and y=1 into the differentiated equation:
8(2)(1)2+8(2)2(1)dxdy+5(1)+5(2)dxdy=0
Simplify:
16+32dxdy+5+10dxdy=0
Combine like terms:
21+42dxdy=0
Solve for dxdy:
42dxdy=−21
dxdy=−4221=−21
The slope of the tangent line is −21.
The equation of the tangent line is in the form y=mx+b, where m is the slope and (x1,y1)=(2,1) is the point of tangency.
Using the point-slope form of a line:
y−y1=m(x−x1)
Substitute m=−21, x1=2, and y1=1:
y−1=−21(x−2)
Simplify:
y−1=−21x+1
y=−21x+2
a. Implicit differentiation: 8xy2+8x2ydxdy+5y+5xdxdy=0
b. Slope of the tangent line at (2,1): −21
c. Equation of the tangent line: y=−21x+2
