Math Problem Statement
If minus, 5, x, y, minus, y, squared, minus, 3, x, cubed, equals, 1−5xy−y2−3x3=1 and it is known that start fraction, d, y, divided by, d, x, end fraction, equals, start fraction, 5, y, plus, 9, x, squared, divided by, minus, 5, x, minus, 2, y, end fraction, commadxdy=−5x−2y5y+9x2, find all coordinate points on the curve where x, equals, 2x=2 and the line tangent to the curve is vertical, or state that no such points exist.
Solution
To find all coordinate points on the curve where and the line tangent to the curve is vertical, we need to analyze the derivative and check for conditions when the tangent line is vertical.
Given:
-
The implicit equation for the curve:
-
The derivative :
To identify points where the tangent line is vertical, we look for values of and where is undefined. This occurs when the denominator of is zero.
Step 1: Set up the denominator condition for a vertical tangent
For a vertical tangent:
Step 2: Substitute into the equation
Substitute into :
Thus, the point is a candidate for a vertical tangent.
Step 3: Verify that lies on the original curve
Substitute and into the implicit equation to check if it satisfies: Calculate each term:
Substitute these values:
The point satisfies the equation of the curve, so it is valid.
Conclusion
The only coordinate point on the curve where and the tangent line is vertical is:
