Find the slope of the tangent line to the curve of intersection of the

surface 36๐‘ฅยฒ โˆ’ 9๐‘ฆยฒ + 4๐‘งยฒ + 36 = 0
with the plane ๐‘ฅ = 1 at the point (1, โˆš12, โˆ’3) .

1 answer

at x=1, we have
36 - 9y^2 + 4z^2 + 36 = 0
y^2/8 - z^2/18 = 1
If by slope you mean dy/dz, then
y/4 dy/dz - z/9 = 0
โˆš3/2 dy/dz = -1/3
dy/dz = -2/โˆš27
