Question

Find an equation of the tangent line to the curve y tan ( pie x2 / 4) at the point (1,1) 

(b) Illustrate part (a) by graphing the curve and the tangent
line on the same screen.

Expert Solution
Step 1

To Determine:

Find an equation of the tangent line to the curve y tan ( pie x2 / 4) at the point (1,1) 

(b) Illustrate part (a) by graphing the curve and the tangent
line on the same screen.

Given: we have y=tanπx24 at the point (1,1) .

Explanation:

part a) we have to find the tangent line .

we know that the equation of tangent line is given by 

                                   y-y1=mx-x1

where m is the slope ,can be written as m=dydx

now the slope is m=ddxtanπx24=πx2sec2πx24

slope at point (1, 1) is

                         m=πx2sec2πx24=π2sec2π4=π222=π
