1 Implicit Differentiation
Sec. 3.7

2 This is not a function, but it would still be nice to be able to find the slope.
Do the same thing to both sides. Note use of chain rule.

3 This can’t be solved for y.
This technique is called implicit differentiation. 1 Differentiate both sides w.r.t. x. 2 Solve for

4 Find the equations of the lines tangent and normal to the curve at .
We need the slope. Since we can’t solve for y, we use implicit differentiation to solve for Note product rule.

5 Find the equations of the lines tangent and normal to the curve at .

6 Higher Order Derivatives
Find if Substitute back into the equation.
