Find the equation of the tangent at (1,6).
SOLUTION
Basic derivative rule: the derivative of y=x^n is y'=nx^{n-1}.
Q18: f(x) = 2x^3 - x^2 +3x
The derivative is f'(x)=6x^2-2x+3
Q36: f(x)=3(5-x)^2
f'(x) = 3.2 (5-x)^1. (-1) the -1 is the derivative of 5-x (the inside function).
f'(x) = -6 (5-x) or -30 +6x
[ If you don't use this rule you can also just expand the brackets, simplify, then find derivative, as in 3(5-x)^2=3(25-10x+x^2)=75 - 30x + 3x^2 and the derivative of this is -30 +6x same as before]
Q38: g(t) = 2 + 3 \cos(t)
g'(t) = 0 - 3 \sin(t) = -3 \sin(t)
.
Q42: f(x) =\displaystyle x + {1\over x^2} = x + x^{-2}
f'(x) = 1 -2 x^{-3} =\displaystyle 1 - {2\over x^3}
Q44: h(x) = \displaystyle {2x^2-3x+1\over x}
h(x) =\displaystyle {2x^2\over x} - {3x\over x}+ 1/x = 2x - 3 + x^{-1}
\displaystyle h'(x) = 2 - 0 -1.x^{-2} =\displaystyle 2 - {1\over x^2}
Q48: f(x) = x^{1/3} + x ^{1/5}
f'(x) = (1/3) x^{1/3 - 1} + (1/5) x ^{1/5-1 }
f'(x) = (1/3) x^{-2/3} +(1/5)x^{-4/5}
f'(x) = \displaystyle {1\over 3x^{2/3}} +{1\over 5x^{4/5}}
Q50: f(t) = t^{2/3} - t^{1/3} +4
f'(t) = (2/3) t^{2/3-1} -(1/3) t^{1/3-1} + 0
f'(t) = (2/3) t^{-1/3} - (1/3) t^{-2/3}
Q56: y = (x^2+2x)(x+1)
y= x^3 + 2x^2 +x^2 + 2x (by expanding)
y = x^3 + 3 x^2 +2x
y' = 3x^2 + 6x + 2
At (1,6), y' = 3(1)^2 + 6(1) + 2 = 3 + 6 + 2 = 11
Tangent line is y - 6 = 11 (x - 1 ) (point gradient form of line)
y = 11x -11 + 6
Tangent Line: y = 11x - 5
