For the function y= x^2+5/x+5 at (1,1), find the following. ( give exact answer. Do not round ) (A) the slope of the tangent line (B) the instantaneous rate of change of the function
Expert Solution
Step 1

Given:

y=x2+5x+5 ; Px,y=1,1

(A).

As we know that, the slope of the tangent line to the curve at a given  Px,y point is equal to the derivative of the given function.

m=dydxPx,y
