Find the equation of the tangent line to the graph of the function f (implicitly) defined by the equation at the indicated point. y^2-x^2=16
Added by Ingrid G.
Step 1
The derivative of y^2 with respect to x is 2y(dy/dx) and the derivative of x^2 with respect to x is 2x. So, we get 2y(dy/dx) - 2x = 0. Show more…
