Use the implicit differentiation method to find the equation of the line that is tangent to the curve c ^ (- (x ^ 2 + y)) = x + y + 1 at the point P(1, 1).

-2x - y' = 1 + y'; y' = - (2x + 1)/2;
Y = 1 - (2x + 1)/2(X - 1);
y = 1 - (2x + 1)/2(x - 1), 2y = 2 - 2x2 + 2x - x + 1; 2y = x + 3 - 2x2;
2y = - x2 - x - 1; - x2 - x - 1 = x +3 - 2x2; .x2 - 2x - 4 = 0; x = 1 ± √5
x = 1 +√5; 2y = - (1 + 2√5 +5 +1 + √5 + 1); y = - 4 - 3√5/2
x = 1 - √5; 2y = - (1 - 2√5 + 5 +1 - √5 + 1); y = 4 - 3√5/2
This is 2 tangent points and because now easy to get equations of 2 tangent lines.
