2.7 Implicit Differentiation

This document discusses implicit differentiation and finding tangent lines. It provides examples of using implicit differentiation to find derivatives of functions defined implicitly. It then shows how to use these derivatives to find equations of tangent lines to curves at given points, including using implicit differentiation if needed. Exercises are provided to have students practice finding tangent lines using implicit differentiation as required.
