    Find your dream and stick with it...or your life will have slipped past in a whisper with you still on the bottom.

    I hate how the free response part of my calc exam is asking me to make the equation I need to solve the problem..I suck at that.

    All right, here's my random thought of the day/equation(s)


    consider the curve defined by the equation x^2cos(y)+ysin(2pi x)-x=-1
    1)write the equation of the tangent line to the curve at the point (1, pi/2)



    ...I hate trying to write my own equations.

    but all you gotta do is derive and substitute the values... what is the problem?
    and... is it f(x) or f(y)?

    It doesn't say. But I figured it out so it's all good. Thanks! I guess the wording just confused me when I first read it.

    it makes all the difference. if its f(x) you have to derive only the x members. if it´s f(y), you derive only the y members. then you substitute the values on the equation and you have the numerical value of the tangent. right?

    I would think so, but it didn't give it to me. It's the second part, and the first part was one where I had to derive a function by (I can't remember the term, but it's where you have an equation equal a number, in this case -1, and then you have to take the derivative of each separate part, include y' for the y's, then getting y' by itself).

    Haha, well it's the AP calc exam so they make sure to word it all difficult. Thanks for the help!

    Random thought: Soooo don't want to go to school tomorrow..
