Answer

So, the final answers are y=21x2 and y|(2,7)=84.

Steps

Step 1 :Differentiate the given equation implicitly with respect to x. This means we will treat y as a function of x and use the chain rule when differentiating y. The derivative is y=21x2.

Step 2 :Substitute the point (2,7) into the derivative to find the slope of the tangent line at that point. The value of the derivative at the point (2,7) is y|(2,7)=84.

Step 3 :So, the final answers are y=21x2 and y|(2,7)=84.
