Find the equation of the tangent and normal to x^2 + 3xy + y^2 = 5 at P(1,1).
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Find the 1st derivative
\n" ); document.write( "x^2 + 3xy + y^2 = 5
\n" ); document.write( "Differentiate implicitly.
\n" ); document.write( "2xdx + 3ydx + 3xdy + 2ydy = 0
\n" ); document.write( "(2x+3)dx + (2y+3)dy = 0
\n" ); document.write( "dy/dx = -(2x+3)/(2y+3) = m, the slope
\n" ); document.write( "At (1,1) m = -1
\n" ); document.write( "-----
\n" ); document.write( "At (1,1), y-1 = -(x-1)
\n" ); document.write( "y = -x + 2 is tangent.
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "y = x is normal\r
