Find Equations for Differentials of 9y^2=x^3+3x^2 at (1,2/3), (-2,2/3), (-3,0)

[erik05]

If anyone could check this answer for me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Find the equations relating the differentials on the curve 9y^2= x^3 +3x^2 at the points (1,\frac{2}{3}), (-2,\frac{2}{3}), (-3,0)

Here's what I got:

y'= \frac {x^2+2x}{6y}

m @ (1,\frac{2}{3})= \frac {3}{4}
equation: 9x-12y-1=0

m @ (-2,\frac{2}{3})=0
equation: y= 2/3

m @ (-3,0)
does not exist

Thanks in advance.

Here's what I got:

y&#039;= \frac {x^2+2x}{6y} <------ CORRECT

m @ (1,\frac{2}{3})= \frac {3}{4}
equation: 9x-12y-1=0 <----- CORRECT

m @ (-2,\frac{2}{3})=0
equation: y= 2/3 <----- CORRECT

m @ (-3,0)
does not exist <----- Should be the Vertical Line {x = -3}

Thanks in advance.

Everything appears correct except the last item.
