Q
What is implicit differentiation?
A
• Find the derivative of a relation by differentiating each side of its equation implicitly and solving for the derivative as an unknown. This process is called implicit differentiation.

Q
How do you find the equation of a line tangent to a curve?
A
• To find the equation of a line tangent to a curve, you need a point on the line and the slope of the line. To find the slope of the line, you may need to substitute both the x-value and the y-value of the point into the derivative.
