Witch of Agnesi Let \(y\left(x^{2}+4\right)=8\) (see figure). a. Use implicit differentiation to find \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) b. Find equations of all lines tangent to the curve \(y\left(x^{2}+4\right)=8\) when \(y=1\) c. Solve the equation \(y\left(x^{2}+4\right)=8\) for \(y\) to find an explicit expression for \(y\) and then calculate \(\frac{d y}{d x}\) d. Verify that the results of parts (a) and (c) are consistent.
The following limits equal the derivative of a function \(f\) at a point a. a. Find one possible \(f\) and \(a\) b. Evaluate the limit. $$\lim _{h \rightarrow 0} \frac{\sin \left(\frac{\pi}{6}+h\right)-\frac{1}{2}}{h}$$
Prove the following identities and give the values of \(x\) for which they are true. $$\cos \left(2 \sin ^{-1} x\right)=1-2 x^{2}$$
A hot-air balloon is \(150 \mathrm{ft}\) above the ground when a motorcycle passes directly beneath it (traveling in a straight line on a horizontal road) going \(40 \mathrm{mi} / \mathrm{hr}(58.67 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s})\) If the balloon is rising vertically at a rate of \(10 \mathrm{ft} / \mathrm{s},\) what is the rate of change of the distance between the motorcycle and the balloon 10 seconds later?
Use the following table to find the given derivatives. $$\begin{array}{llllll} x & 1 & 2 & 3 & 4 & 5 \\ \hline f(x) & 5 & 4 & 3 & 2 & 1 \\ f^{\prime}(x) & 3 & 5 & 2 & 1 & 4 \\ g(x) & 4 & 2 & 5 & 3 & 1 \\ g^{\prime}(x) & 2 & 4 & 3 & 1 & 5 \end{array}$$ $$\left.\frac{d}{d x}\left[\frac{x f(x)}{g(x)}\right]\right|_{x=4}$$
