    Find dy/dx and then find slope of tangent(s).

    Ah yes I do! So from 2y2-y-1=0 I get (2y+1)(y-1)=0 I can use this to find my y coordinates and then use the x and y values with my previously found dy/dx to get my slope at both points, correct? I calculated a slope of 1 at (1,1) and a slope of -1/2 at (1,-1/2). Thanks a lot!

    Find dy/dx and then find slope of tangent(s).

    Homework Statement a) If 2y2-xy-x2=0 , find dy/dx. b) What is/are the slope(s) of the tangent(s)at x=1? Homework Equations The Attempt at a Solution Using implicit differentiation: a) (4y)dy/dx-(x)dy/dx-y(1)-2x=0 (4y)dy/dx-(x)dy/dx=2x+y...
