Given f(x) = (lnx)^3 find the line tangent to f at x = 3

Explanation

We must the tangent line at x = 3 of the function:

f(x)=(\ln x)^3.

The tangent line is given by:

y=m*(x-h)+k.

Where:

• m is the slope of the tangent line of f(x) at x = h,

,

• k = f(h) is the value of the function at x = h.

In this case, we have h = 3.

1) First, we compute the derivative of f(x):

f^{\prime}(x)=\frac{d}{dx}((\ln x)^3)=3*(\ln x)^2*\frac{d}{dx}(\ln x)=3*(\ln x)^2*\frac{1}{x}=\frac{3(\ln x)^2}{x}.

2) By evaluating the result of f'(x) at x = h = 3, we get:

m=f^{\prime}(3)=\frac{3}{3}*(\ln3)^2=(\ln3)^2.

3) The value of k is:

k=f(3)=(\ln3)^3

4) Replacing the values of m, h and k in the general equation of the tangent line, we get:

y=(\ln3)^2*(x-3)+(\ln3)^3.

Plotting the function f(x) and the tangent line we verify that our result is correct:

Answer

The equation of the tangent line to f(x) and x = 3 is:

y=(\ln3)^2*(x-3)+(\ln3)^3

What’s v,j,a with a dilation of 4
Artist 52 [7]

Answer:

Perform a Dilation of 4 on point A (2, 3) which you can see in the picture below. Multiply the coordinates of the original point (2, 3), called the image, by 4. Image's coordinates = (2 * 4, 3 * 4) to get the coordinates of the image (8, 12).

4. You sketch a right triangle that has a
stich3 [128]

Answer:

√95 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve, you need to use the pythagorean theorem, or a^2 + b^2 = c^2

The hypotenuse is the c and let one leg be b. You can write:

a^2 + 7^2 = 12^2

a^2 + 49 = 144

Now, you need to solve for a:

a^2 = 144 - 49

a^2 = 95

a = √95 cm, or about 9.75cm

Please prove this........​
Crazy boy [7]

Answer:  see proof below

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given: A + B + C = π    →     C = π - (A + B)

                                    → sin C = sin(π - (A + B))       cos C = sin(π - (A + B))

                                    → sin C = sin (A + B)              cos C = - cos(A + B)

Use the following Sum to Product Identity:

sin A + sin B = 2 cos[(A + B)/2] · sin [(A - B)/2]

cos A + cos B = 2 cos[(A + B)/2] · cos [(A - B)/2]

Use the following Double Angle Identity:

sin 2A = 2 sin A · cos A

<u>Proof LHS → RHS</u>

LHS:                        (sin 2A + sin 2B) + sin 2C

\text{Sum to Product:}\qquad 2\sin\bigg(\dfrac{2A+2B}{2}\bigg)\cdot \cos \bigg(\dfrac{2A - 2B}{2}\bigg)-\sin 2C

\text{Double Angle:}\qquad 2\sin\bigg(\dfrac{2A+2B}{2}\bigg)\cdot \cos \bigg(\dfrac{2A - 2B}{2}\bigg)-2\sin C\cdot \cos C

\text{Simplify:}\qquad \qquad 2\sin (A + B)\cdot \cos (A - B)-2\sin C\cdot \cos C

\text{Given:}\qquad \qquad \quad 2\sin C\cdot \cos (A - B)+2\sin C\cdot \cos (A+B)

\text{Factor:}\qquad \qquad \qquad 2\sin C\cdot [\cos (A-B)+\cos (A+B)]

\text{Sum to Product:}\qquad 2\sin C\cdot 2\cos A\cdot \cos B

\text{Simplify:}\qquad \qquad 4\cos A\cdot \cos B \cdot \sin C

LHS = RHS: 4 cos A · cos B · sin C = 4 cos A · cos B · sin C    \checkmark
