I have the following function given, and I need to find the points of tangency...
Two tangent lines to the huperbola 9x^2 - y^2 =36 interesect at the y-axis.
Use implicit differentiation to find the points of tangency.
Ok so i multiplied both sides by dy/dx, and solved for y'...i got
y'= \frac {9x}{y}
so to find the points of tangency, do i plug in the x and y values? im a little confused on that...thanks.
