Let f(x) = 1/x^2 (a) Use the definition of the derivatve to find f'(x). (b) Find the equation of the tangent line at x=2
Verdich [7]

Answer:

(a) f'(x)=-\frac{2}{x^3}

(b) y=-0.25x+0.75

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

f(x)=\frac{1}{x^2}                  .... (1)

According to the first principle of the derivative,

f'(x)=lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{f(x+h)-f(x)}{h}

f'(x)=lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{\frac{1}{(x+h)^2}-\frac{1}{x^2}}{h}

f'(x)=lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{\frac{x^2-(x+h)^2}{x^2(x+h)^2}}{h}

f'(x)=lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{x^2-x^2-2xh-h^2}{hx^2(x+h)^2}

f'(x)=lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{-2xh-h^2}{hx^2(x+h)^2}

f'(x)=lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{-h(2x+h)}{hx^2(x+h)^2}

Cancel out common factors.

f'(x)=lim_{h\rightarrow 0}\frac{-(2x+h)}{x^2(x+h)^2}

By applying limit, we get

f'(x)=\frac{-(2x+0)}{x^2(x+0)^2}

f'(x)=\frac{-2x)}{x^4}

f'(x)=\frac{-2)}{x^3}                         .... (2)

Therefore f'(x)=-\frac{2}{x^3}.

(b)

Put x=2, to find the y-coordinate of point of tangency.

f(x)=\frac{1}{2^2}=\frac{1}{4}=0.25

The coordinates of point of tangency are (2,0.25).

The slope of tangent at x=2 is

m=(\frac{dy}{dx})_{x=2}=f'(x)_{x=2}

Substitute x=2 in equation 2.

f'(2)=\frac{-2}{(2)^3}=\frac{-2}{8}=\frac{-1}{4}=-0.25

The slope of the tangent line at x=2 is -0.25.

The slope of tangent is -0.25 and the tangent passes through the point (2,0.25).

Using point slope form the equation of tangent is

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

y-0.25=-0.25(x-2)

y-0.25=-0.25x+0.5

y=-0.25x+0.5+0.25

y=-0.25x+0.75

Therefore the equation of the tangent line at x=2 is y=-0.25x+0.75.

Which of the following intervals represents the set (1,4) u [2,6]?
fenix001 [56]
Set is a sum of two intervals :(1,4) u [2,6] 
In the first interval it is open on both sides so 1 and 4 don't belong to this interval, the second is closed so both 2 and 6 belong to interval and numbers between 2 and 6
We can write it as 1<x\leq 6
summing both sets we have one set: (1,6]
so
a) represent our set
b) also represent because all numbers between 4-6 and 6 are in our set
c)also represent, all numbers are in main set
d)also represent
