Learn how to find slopes using implicit differentiation for implicitly defined equations. Get equations for tangent and normal lines with higher-order derivatives examples.
E N D
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.
We need the slope. Since we can’t solve for y, we use implicit differentiation to solve for . Find the equations of the lines tangent and normal to the curve at . Note product rule.
