The correct Answer is:
To find the equation of the line tangent to the curve \( x \sin y + y \sin x = \pi \) at the point \( \left( \frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right) \), we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Differentiate the equation implicitly We start with the equation of the curve: \[ x \sin y + y \sin x = \pi \] Now, we differentiate both sides with respect to \( x \): \[ \frac{d}{dx}(x \sin y) + \frac{d}{dx}(y \sin x) = \frac{d}{dx}(\pi) \] Using the product rule and chain rule, we get: \[ \sin y + x \cos y \frac{dy}{dx} + \sin x \frac{dy}{dx} + y \cos x = 0 \] ### Step 2: Substitute the point into the derivative Now we substitute the point \( \left( \frac{\pi}{2}, \frac{\pi}{2} \right) \) into the differentiated equation: \[ \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) + \frac{\pi}{2} \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \frac{dy}{dx} + \sin\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) \frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{\pi}{2} \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{2}\right) = 0 \] This simplifies to: \[ 1 + 0 \cdot \frac{dy}{dx} + \frac{dy}{dx} + 0 = 0 \] Thus, we have: \[ 1 + \frac{dy}{dx} = 0 \] This leads to: \[ \frac{dy}{dx} = -1 \] ### Step 3: Use the point-slope form to find the equation of the tangent line Now that we have the slope of the tangent line, which is \( -1 \), we can use the point-slope form of the equation of a line: \[ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \] Substituting \( m = -1 \), \( x_1 = \frac{\pi}{2} \), and \( y_1 = \frac{\pi}{2} \): \[ y - \frac{\pi}{2} = -1\left(x - \frac{\pi}{2}\right) \] This simplifies to: \[ y - \frac{\pi}{2} = -x + \frac{\pi}{2} \] Rearranging gives: \[ x + y = \pi \] ### Final Answer The equation of the tangent line is: \[ \boxed{x + y = \pi} \]
