Implicit Derivatives Ellipse Sine
1. Problem: Find the implicit derivatives for the given equations.
(c) $$\sqrt{x} + y = x^4 + y^4$$
2. Formula and rules: For implicit differentiation, differentiate both sides with respect to $x$, treating $y$ as a function of $x$ (i.e., use chain rule for $y$ terms: $\frac{d}{dx}[y] = y'$).
3. Differentiate each term:
- $$\frac{d}{dx}[\sqrt{x}] = \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}$$
- $$\frac{d}{dx}[y] = y'$$
- $$\frac{d}{dx}[x^4] = 4x^3$$
- $$\frac{d}{dx}[y^4] = 4y^3 y'$$
4. Write the differentiated equation:
$$\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}} + y' = 4x^3 + 4y^3 y'$$
5. Group $y'$ terms on one side:
$$y' - 4y^3 y' = 4x^3 - \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}$$
6. Factor out $y'$:
$$y'(1 - 4y^3) = 4x^3 - \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}$$
7. Solve for $y'$:
$$y' = \frac{4x^3 - \frac{1}{2\sqrt{x}}}{1 - 4y^3}$$

1. Problem: Find the tangent line equation at point $(2,1)$ for the curve
(c) $$x^2 + 2xy + 4y^2 = 12$$ (ellipse)
2. Differentiate implicitly with respect to $x$:
$$2x + 2(y + x y') + 8y y' = 0$$
3. Expand:
$$2x + 2y + 2x y' + 8y y' = 0$$
4. Group $y'$ terms:
$$2x y' + 8y y' = -2x - 2y$$
5. Factor $y'$:
$$y'(2x + 8y) = -2x - 2y$$
6. Solve for $y'$:
$$y' = \frac{-2x - 2y}{2x + 8y} = \frac{-(x + y)}{x + 4y}$$
7. Evaluate at $(2,1)$:
$$y' = \frac{-(2 + 1)}{2 + 4} = \frac{-3}{6} = -\frac{1}{2}$$
8. Equation of tangent line:
$$y - y_0 = m(x - x_0)$$
$$y - 1 = -\frac{1}{2}(x - 2)$$

1. Problem: Find the second derivative $y''$ for
(c) $$\sin y + \cos x = 1$$
2. Differentiate implicitly once:
$$\cos y \cdot y' - \sin x = 0$$
3. Solve for $y'$:
$$y' = \frac{\sin x}{\cos y}$$
4. Differentiate $y'$ to find $y''$:
$$y'' = \frac{d}{dx} \left( \frac{\sin x}{\cos y} \right)$$
5. Use quotient rule or product rule:
$$y'' = \frac{\cos x \cdot \cos y - \sin x (-\sin y) y'}{\cos^2 y}$$
6. Substitute $y'$:
$$y'' = \frac{\cos x \cos y + \sin x \sin y \cdot \frac{\sin x}{\cos y}}{\cos^2 y} = \frac{\cos x \cos y + \sin^2 x \tan y}{\cos^2 y}$$
7. Simplify:
$$y'' = \frac{\cos x \cos y}{\cos^2 y} + \frac{\sin^2 x \tan y}{\cos^2 y} = \frac{\cos x}{\cos y} + \frac{\sin^2 x \sin y}{\cos^3 y}$$
