- The curve y = f (x) passes through the point A(1; 2). Each tangent at any point M(x,y) on the curve intersects the straight line y = 1 at a point whose x coordinate is twice the x coordinate of point M. Determine the equation of the curve.arrow_forwardFind an equation for the line tangent to the curve at the point defined by the given value of t. Also, find the value of at this point. x = 2t3 + 6, y = t6, t = -1 Write the equation of the tangent line y = ?arrow_forwardFind the points on the curve where the tangent is horizontal or vertical. If you have a graphing device, graph the curve to check your work. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list of ordered pairs.) x = 10 − t2, y = t3 − 27t horizontal tangent (x, y) = vertical tangent (x, y) =arrow_forward
- The derivative of ƒ(x, y, z) at a point P is greatest in the directionof v = i + j - k. In this direction, the value of the derivative is2√3. What is ∇ƒ at P? Give reasons for your answer.arrow_forward(a) find the slope of the curve y=x^2-2x-5 at the point P(2,-5) by finding the limiting value of the slope fo the secant lines through point P. (b) find an equation of the tangent line to the curve at P(2,-5)arrow_forwardFast pls solve this question correctly in 5 min pls I will provide best rate for sure ph of 12x+y=40 is shown in blue. rdinates of the point at which this line ats the line y=0 are ((10)/(3),0arrow_forward
- A. Find the slope of the curve y=x2-2x-3 at the point P(2,-3) by finding the limiting value of the slope of the secant lines through point P. B. Find an equation of the tangent line to the curve at P(2,-3)arrow_forward6. Find two points where the curve x^2+3xy+y^2=47 crosses the x-axis. The tangent lines to the curve at these points are parallel. b.What is the common slope of these tangents?arrow_forwardFind the points on the curve where the tangent is horizontal or vertical. If you have a graphing device, graph the curve to check your work. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list of ordered pairs.) x = 6 − t2, y = t3 − 3t Horizontal Tangent (x,y) Vertical Tangent (x,y)arrow_forward
