Vertical tangent lines If a function f is continuous at a and , then the curve y = f(x) has a vertical tangent line at a and the equation of the tangent line is x = a. If a is an endpoint of a domain, then the appropriate one-sided derivative (Exercises 1–2) is used. Use this information to answer the following question.
Graph the following curves and determine the location of any vertical tangent lines.
a. x2 + y2 = 9
b. x2 + y2 + 2x = 0
Exercises 1
f(x) = |x − 2|; a = 2
