Calculus Help
number 26
nvm
i need this one now
$$ f(x)=x^2+2x+1,<-3,4>\\ f'(x)=2x+2\\ f'(-3)=2(-3)+2=-6+2=-4\\ $$ Equation of the line tangent to f(x) at <-3,4> is: $$ y=mx+b\\ 4=-4(-3)+b\\ b=4-12=-8\ $$ So equation of the line tangent to f(x) at <-3,4> is $$ y=-4x-8 $$ Make sense?
Slope of tangent to y at <-4,4) is $$ m=\cfrac{4-6}{-1-3}=\cfrac{-2}{-4}=\cfrac{1}{2} $$ So, equation of the line tangent to y at <-1,4> is $$ z(x)=\cfrac{1}{2}x+b\\ 4=\cfrac{1}{2}(-1)+b\\ b=4+\cfrac{1}{2}\\ =\cfrac{9}{2}\\ z(x)=\cfrac{1}{2}x+\cfrac{9}{2}\\ h(-1)=4\text{ this was given}\\ h'(-1)=z(-1)=\cfrac{1}{2}(-1)+\cfrac{9}{2}=\cfrac{8}{2}=4\\ $$ Let me know if you have any questions.
*1st line should have said: Slope of tangent to y at <-1,4) is
