Science:Math Exam Resources/Courses/MATH100 B/December 2024/Question 07/Solution 1

From UBC Wiki

We begin by implicitly differentiating the equation, which gives 2x+2yy=2(x2+y22x)(2x+2yy2). Hence, when x=0 and y=1 this becomes 2y=2(1)(2y2)=4y4, so y=2. The tangent line is therefore the line with slope 2 passing through the point (0,1), and hence is given by y=2x+1.
