Use implicit differentiation to find the equation of the tangent line at a point (KristaKingMath)

Описание: Learn how to use implicit differentiation to calculate the equation of the tangent to the curve at a specific point. Use implicit differentiation to find the first derivative of y, or y', or y prime, then plug the given point into the first derivative to get the slope of the tangent line, m. Plug the slope and the given point into the point-slope formula for the equation of the line, and simplify to get the equation of the tangent line to the curve at that point.

Hi, I’m Krista! I make math courses to keep you from banging your head against the wall. ;)

Math class was always so frustrating for me. I’d go to a class, spend hours on homework, and three days later have an “Ah-ha!” moment about how the problems worked that could have slashed my homework time in half. I’d think, “WHY didn’t my teacher just tell me this in the first place?!”

So I started tutoring to keep other people out of the same aggravating, time-sucking cycle. Since then, I’ve recorded tons of videos and written out cheat-sheet style notes and formula sheets to help every math student—from basic middle school classes to advanced college calculus—figure out what’s going on, understand the important concepts, and pass their classes, once and for all.
