find an equation of the tangent line to the graph of f at the given point. f(x)=x√x^2+5) point (2,6)
i have to use the product rule, right?
Nah you got to use me
a trinity rule? o.0
y = x √(x^2 + 5) => dy/dx = √(x^2 + 5) + x * x / √(x^2 + 5) => dy/dx at (2, 6) = √(2^2 + 5) + 2^2 / √(2^2 + 5) = 3 + 4/3 = 13/3 The equation of the tangent line passes through (2, 6) and has a slope = 13/3 => the eqn. of the tangent line is y - 6 = (13/3) (x - 2) => 13x - 3y = 8.
Trinity does rule =)
that was fast.
Like I said,I am trinity
Need other help?
in a few minutes, yea. just reading over your answer
No doubt
so how did you know to get the equation, => dy/dx = √(x^2 + 5) + x * x / √(x^2 + 5)
You find the square root f:(X²+ 5))
product rule i think
Post your other question?
I might fall asleep waiting lol
oh sorry, lol. these questions you can;t help me with :( i have to look at these graphs. thanks though. goodnight!
