    This document discusses using implicit differentiation to find the slope of a tangent line to a circle at a given point. It explains that while explicit functions can be readily solved for y, implicit functions define y in terms of x without isolating y. Through an example of implicit differentiation, it demonstrates taking the derivative of both sides of an implicit equation with respect to x and using product and chain rules. The document concludes by explaining how to use implicit differentiation to find the slope of the tangent line to a circle at a given point and substituting that point into the implicit differentiation equation to solve for the slope.

    We have worked with functions of the form
    y  f ( x)
    y  4x  5 x3

    y  x  x6

    Tangent Lines
    Consider the equation for a circle
    • x2 + y2 = 36
    • What is the equation
    of the tangent to the
    circle at the point
    where x = 5 in the
    4th quadrant
    Find the slope by using implicit
    differentiation
    • Substitute in (5, -3.316)
    Use point-slope formula for line 8
    Review
    To find dy/dx for an equation containing both
    x and y
    1. Differentiate both sides of equation
    w/respect to x
    • Assuming y is a function of x
    2. Place all terms with dy/dx on one side
    • All others on other side
    3. Factor out dy/dx
    4. Solve for dy/dx 9
