Suppose \(y=L(x)=a x+b\) (with \(a \neq 0\) ) is the equation of the line tangent to the graph of a one-to-one function \(f\) at \(\left(x_{0}, y_{0}\right) .\) Also, suppose that \(y=M(x)=c x+d\) is the equation of the line tangent to the graph of \(f^{-1}\) at \(\left(y_{0}, x_{0}\right)\) a. Express \(a\) and \(b\) in terms of \(x_{0}\) and \(y_{0}\) b. Express \(c\) in terms of \(a,\) and \(d\) in terms of \(a, x_{0},\) and \(y_{0}\) c. Prove that \(L^{-1}(x)=M(x)\)
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).
Calculate the following derivatives using the Product Rule. $$\begin{array}{lll} \text { a. } \frac{d}{d x}\left(\sin ^{2} x\right) & \text { b. } \frac{d}{d x}\left(\sin ^{3} x\right) & \text { c. } \frac{d}{d x}\left(\sin ^{4} x\right) \end{array}$$ d. Based upon your answers to parts (a)-(c), make a conjecture about \(\frac{d}{d x}\left(\sin ^{n} x\right),\) where \(n\) is a positive integer. Then prove the result by induction.
Visualizing tangent and normal lines a. Determine an equation of the tangent line and normal line at the given point \(\left(x_{0}, y_{0}\right)\) on the following curves. (See instructions for Exercises \(63-68 .)\) b. Graph the tangent and normal lines on the given graph. \(\left(x^{2}+y^{2}\right)^{2}=\frac{25}{3}\left(x^{2}-y^{2}\right);\) \(\left(x_{0}, y_{0}\right)=(2,-1)\) (lemniscate of Bernoulli)
Consider the following functions (on the given interval, if specified). Find the inverse function, express it as a function of \(x,\) and find the derivative of the inverse function. $$f(x)=\frac{x}{x+5}$$
