In problems involving implicit derivatives, you may be asked to solve for points where the tangent to the curve is horizontal or vertical. A horizontal tangent means dxdy=0, and a vertical tangent occurs in the case where dxdy=denominatornumerator and the denominator equals zero.

If the question asks for vertical / horizontal normals, just recall that a vertical normal means a horizontal tangent, and vice-versa.
