Question

Find the tangent line equation of the curve at the given point. Y=arcsin(7x) at the point where x=sqrt2/14

Answer 1

Answer:

$Y-\frac{\pi}{2} =\frac{\pi}{2} (x+\sqrt{\frac{1}{7}})$

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of the curve is

$Y = sin^{-1}(7x)$

To find the equation of tangent we need to differentiate this equation w.r.t x

So, differentiating we get

$Y'=\frac{7}{\sqrt{1-49x^2} }$

This would give the slope of the tangent line at any given point of which x coordinate is known. In the present case it is  $x = \sqrt{\frac{1}{7} }$

Then slope would accordingly be

$Y'=\frac{7}{\sqrt{1-49/49} }$

= ∞

For, $x = \sqrt{\frac{1}{7} }$, $Y = sin^{-1}(7/7)= \pi/2$

Equation of tangent line, in the point slope form, would be $Y-\frac{\pi}{2} =\frac{\pi}{2} (x+\sqrt{\frac{1}{7}})$
