The equation of the tangent line at x=1 can be written in point-slope form as
... L(x) = f'(1)(x -1) +f(1)
The derivative is ...
... f'(x) = 4x^3 +4x
so the slope of the tangent line is f'(1) = 4+4 = 8.
The value of the function at x=1 is
... f(1) = 1^4 +2·1^2 = 3
So, your linearization is ...
... L(x) = 8(x -1) +3
or
... L(x) = 8x -5
So, our starting point, at zero hours, you already owe ten dollars.
So far you know it is +10.
Now, you multiply for by however many hours you have rented the bike for.
So the equation is:
4x+10.
x= # of hours bike is rented for.
Hope this helps! Have a happy holiday!
Eq. of line through (1,2) and (4,5) is


x-y+1=0
A variable with no coefficient...
Do you mean something like 'x'
The coefficient is 1 because x=1x
Best of luck!
