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]:
$\displaystyle f'(x) = -e^{-x}$

Step 3: Find Tangent Slope

[Derivative] Substitute in x = 1:
$\displaystyle f'(1) = -e^{-1}$
Rewrite:
$\displaystyle f'(1) = \frac{-1}{e}$

∴ the slope of the tangent line is equal to $\displaystyle \frac{-1}{e}$ .

Step 4: Find Equation

[Function] Substitute in x = 1:
$\displaystyle f(1) = e^{-1}$
Rewrite:
$\displaystyle f(1) = \frac{1}{e}$

∴ our point is equal to $\displaystyle \bigg( 1, \frac{1}{e} \bigg)$ .

Substituting in our variables we found into the point-slope form general equation, we get our final answer of:

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

∴ we have our final answer.

According to the Rational Root Theorem, what are all the potential rational roots of f(x) = 9x4 – 2x2 – 3x + 4?

Tanzania [10]

The coefficients of x4 is 9. It has factors of 1, 3, and 9. The constant is 4. It has factors of 1, 2, and 4.
The (positive and negative) ratios of the factors of the coefficient of the x4 and the constant 4 are the potential rational roots of the function.
The answers are:
1, -1, 3, -3, 9, -9, 1/2, -1/2, 3/2, -3/2, 3/4, -3/4, 9/2, -9/2, 9/4, -9/4

A ball is dropped from a height of 8 feet. If every time it bounces, it bounces 60% of its previous height, what is the total di

vladimir1956 [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Initial height of the ball = 8feet

If it bounces 60% of its previous height, its new height will be;

60% of 8

= 60/100 * 8

= 480/100

= 4.8 ft

If it bounces 60% of its current distance, new height will be expressed as;

60% of 4.8

= 0.6 * 4.8

= 2.88

The height of the ball will keep reducing and form a geometric progression of the form 8, 4.8, 2.88...

In order to get the total distance traveled by the ball, we need to calculate the sum to infinity of the sequence;

S∞ = a/1-r where;

a is the first term = 8

r is the common ratio

$r = \frac{4.8}{8} = \frac{2.88}{4.8}\\r = 0.6$

Substitute into the formula;

S∞ = a/1-r

S∞ = 8/1-0.6

S∞ = 8/0.4

S∞ = 20feet

Hence the total distance traveled by the ball is 20feet

(x = 3) y=x+5 How would I solve this problem

Flura [38]

So it would be y=3+5 so you really just add 3+5 and that’s 8 so it would be y=8
