Step-by-step explanation:

as we have a point and the slope, we can start with the point-slope form and then transform.

the point-slope form is

y - y1 = a(x - x1)

(x1, y1) being a point on the line, a being the slope.

the slope-interceot form is

y = ax + b

a being the slope again, b being the y-intercept (the y value for x = 0).

so, we have

y - -5 = 5/2 × (x - -4)

y + 5 = 5/2 × (x + 4) = 5x/2 + 5×4/2 = 5x/2 + 10

y = 5x/2 + 5

y = (5/2)x + 5

and this is already the slope-intercept form. all done.

F(x) = e^-x . Find the equation of the tangent to f(x) at x=-1

natima [27]

Answer:

The equation of the tangent line is given by the following equation:

$\displaystyle y - \frac{1}{e} = \frac{-1}{e} \bigg( x - 1 \bigg)$

General Formulas and Concepts:

Algebra I

Point-Slope Form: y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

x₁ - x coordinate
y₁ - y coordinate
m - slope

Derivative Property [Multiplied Constant]:
$\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx} [cf(x)] = c \cdot f'(x)$

Derivative Rule [Basic Power Rule]:

f(x) = cxⁿ
f’(x) = c·nxⁿ⁻¹

Derivative Rule [Chain Rule]:
$\displaystyle \frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] =f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)$

Step-by-step explanation:

*Note:

Recall that the definition of the derivative is the slope of the tangent line.

Step 1: Define

Identify given.

$\displaystylef(x) = e^{-x} \\x = -1$

Step 2: Differentiate

[Function] Apply Exponential Differentiation [Derivative Rule - Chain Rule]:
$\displaystyle f'(x) = e^{-x}(-x)'$
[Derivative] Rewrite [Derivative Rule - Multiplied Constant]:
$\displaystyle f'(x) = -e^{-x}(x)'$
[Derivative] Apply Derivative Rule [Derivative Rule - Basic Power Rule]:
$\displaystyle f'(x) = -e^{-x}$
