Question

Find all points on the graph of

x2y − 2x + 63y = 2

where the tangent line is horizontal. (Enter your answer as a comma-separated list of ordered pairs, (x, y).

If an answer does not exist, enter DNE.)

Expert Solution
Step 1

Differentiate the equation x2y-2x+63y=2 wrt x: 

ddxx2y-ddx2x+ddx63y=ddx22xy+x2dydx-2+63dydx=0

Step 2

Since tangent is horizontal so dydx=0. Thus, the equation 2xy+x2dydx-2+63dydx=0 becomes: 2xy-2=0 or xy=1

Substitute y=1x in x2y-2x+63y=2

x2.1x-2x+63x=2x2-2x2+63=2xx2+2x-63=0x-7x+9=0x=7,-9
