1. Find the equation of the tangent line to the curve y = x3 at the point (2,8).
12x y 16 = 0
Answer:
Solution:
f(x) = x3 -------- > f(x) = 3x2
mT = f(2) = 3(22) = 12
using point slope of a line:
y = mT(x x1) + y1
y = 12(x 2) + 8
y = 12x 24 + 8
12x y 16 = 0
2. Find
b. dy/dx=(x-sec^2 y)/
c. dy/dx=(sec^2 x-y)/(y-sec^2 y)
(x-sec^2 x)
Answer:
Solution:
tanx+tany=xy
sec^2 x+sec^2 y dy/dx=x dy/dx+y
sec^2 y dy/dx-x dy/dx=y-sec^2 x
dy/dx (sec^2 y-x)=y-sec^2 x
dy/dx=(y-sec^2 x)/(sec^2 y-x)

13. Give the slope of the curve y= x/4^3- 2x+1 at point (1,1)
Solution:
y= x/4^3- 2x+1
since slope is m=dy/dx
y^'= 1/4 (3)x^2- 2
when x = 1
y^'= 1/4 (3)(1)^2- 2
y^'=- 5/4
