Here's (b)
x^2 + xy - y^2 = 1 using implicit differentiation, we have
2x + y + xy' - 2yy' = 0
xy' - 2yy' = -2x - y multiply through by - 1 on both sides
2yy' - xy' = 2x + y
y'(2y - x) = 2x + y
y' = [2x + y ] / [2y - x ] and the slope of the tangent line at (2.3) is given by
y' = [2(2) + 3] / [2(3) - 2 ] = [7] / [ 6 - 2] = 7 / 4
Here's a graph of the tangent line to the "rotated" hyperbola at the point (2,3)....https://www.desmos.com/calculator/yuxxmj7ud9
Note, that the slope of the tangent line at this point = (7/4).....just as we expected...!!!
Even today our enthusiastic answerers were helping and encourageing the budding mathematicians of the world!

You know for a long time I have thought that Santas red and white outfit was the direct result of coca cola advertising in the early 1950s but according to this artical that is not true.

No I did not know that. How could I know that when you did not say that?
Anyway.
Here is the same equation in degrees

You can see the graph that I have drawn. Each root - where it crosses the x (theta) axis - is a soution to this equation,
so for any interval of 360° there will be 8 different answers
That is for any interval $$a\le \theta \le a+360$$ there will be 8 solutions to this equation.
what value of theta satisfies the equation sin(3theta+5)=cos(4theta+1)?
I have assueed that theta is in radians.
You can see the graph that I have drawn. Each root - where it crosses the x (theta) axis - is a soution to this equation,
so for any interval of 2pi there will be 8 different answers
That is for any interval $$a\le \theta \le a+2\pi$$ there will be 8 solutions to this equation.

If you would like me to discuss this further I can.
Another mathematician may also like to comment.
