The Witch of Agnesi The graph of \(y=\frac{a^{3}}{x^{2}+a^{2}},\) where \(a\) is a constant, is called the witch of Agnesi (named after the 18th-century Italian mathematician Maria Agnesi). a. Let \(a=3\) and find an equation of the line tangent to \(y=\frac{27}{x^{2}+9}\) at \(x=2\) b. Plot the function and the tangent line found in part (a).
Prove the following identities and give the values of \(x\) for which they are true. $$\sin \left(2 \sin ^{-1} x\right)=2 x \sqrt{1-x^{2}}$$
Identifying functions from an equation The following equations implicitly define one or more functions. a. Find \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) using implicit differentiation. b. Solve the given equation for \(y\) to identify the implicitly defined functions \(y=f_{1}(x), y=f_{2}(x), \ldots\) c. Use the functions found in part (b) to graph the given equation. $$y^{2}=\frac{x^{2}(4-x)}{4+x} \text { (right strophoid) }$$
A port and a radar station are 2 mi apart on a straight shore running east and west. A ship leaves the port at noon traveling northeast at a rate of \(15 \mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{hr}\). If the ship maintains its speed and course, what is the rate of change of the tracking angle \(\theta\) between the shore and the line between the radar station and the ship at 12: 30 p.m.? (Hint: Use the Law of sines.)
Use the following table to find the given derivatives. $$\begin{array}{llllll} x & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 \\ \hline f(x) & 5 & 4 & 3 & 2 & 1 \\ f^{\prime}(x) & 3 & 5 & 2 & 1 & 4 \\ g(x) & 4 & 2 & 5 & 3 & 1 \\ g^{\prime}(x) & 2 & 4 & 3 & 1 & 5 \end{array}$$ $$\left.\frac{d}{d x}\left[\frac{x f(x)}{g(x)}\right]\right|_{x=4}$$
