Determine the slope of the curve at the given point.find the equation of the tangent line at the given point.
\n" ); document.write( "y(3x-y^2)=16 at (4,2)
\n" ); document.write( "========================
\n" ); document.write( "y(3x-y^2)=16
\n" ); document.write( "y^3 - 3xy = -16
\n" ); document.write( "Differentiate implicitly.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "3y^2*dy - 3x*dy - 3y*dx = 0
\n" ); document.write( "(3y^2* - 3x)*dy = 3y*dx
\n" ); document.write( "(y^2* - x)*dy = y*dx
\n" ); document.write( "dy/dx = y/(y^2 - x)
\n" ); document.write( "=======================
\n" ); document.write( "dy/dx = 2/(4 - 4)
\n" ); document.write( "---> infinite slope
