they want you to find the equation of the tangent line
OpenStudy (anonymous):
wants the equation for the line right?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (anonymous):
take the derivative, and then find
\[f'(1)\] as your slope. use point-slope formula

I got 3/2(2)^(1/2) for the slope
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[f'(x)=\frac{2}{\sqrt[3]{(6x+2)^2}}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oops I actually put square root of 1/2 instead 1/3
OpenStudy (anonymous):
\[f(x)=(6x+2)^{\frac{1}{3}}\]
\[f'(x)=\frac{1}{3}(6x+2)^{-\frac{2}{3}}\times 6\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
now it should be easy because
\[f'(1)=\frac{2}{\sqrt[3]{8^2}}\]

aka
\[\frac{1}{2}\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
slope is 3/4
OpenStudy (anonymous):
really? let me read it again
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oops I meant 1/2
OpenStudy (anonymous):
whew

and point is
\[(1,2)\] and point slope formula will give it to you
OpenStudy (anonymous):
where did you get 2 from
OpenStudy (anonymous):
if
\[x=1\] then
\[y=f(1)=(6\times 1+2)^{\frac{1}{3}}=8^{\frac{1}{3}}=\sqrt[3]{8}=2\]
OpenStudy (anonymous):
oh, ok
OpenStudy (anonymous):
answer y=(1/2x)+(3/2)
