Determine the equation of the tangent line at the indicated x-coordinate. f(x)=e^−1.1x⋅ln(5x) for x=2. The equation of the tangent line in slope-intercept form is y=

OpenStudy (anonymous):

are you familiar with the derivative rule of e^f(x) and the natural logarithm derivative rule?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

for d/dx i got -1.1e^-1.1x(ln5x)+(1/x)(e^-1.1)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^ is that correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

one sec

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh yeah product rule. sorry

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

soo why doesnt y=.024305x+.206524

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[= -1.1e^{-1.1}(\ln(5x))+\frac{1}{x}e^{-1.1}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@ =2...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh i think i found my careless mistake

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok nvm..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so r u still stuck?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got y=.447083x-.639031

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why isnt ^ right?
