Suppose \(f\) is differentiable on an interval containing \(a\) and \(b\), and let \(P(a, f(a))\) and \(Q(b, f(b))\) be distinct points on the graph of \(f\). Let \(c\) be the \(x\) -coordinate of the point at which the lines tangent to the curve at \(P\) and \(Q\) intersect, assuming that the tangent lines are not parallel (see figure). a. If \(f(x)=x^{2},\) show that \(c=(a+b) / 2,\) the arithmetic mean of \(a\) and \(b\), for real numbers \(a\) and \(b\) b. If \(f(x)=\sqrt{x}\), show that \(c=\sqrt{a b}\), the geometric mean of \(a\) and \(b\), for \(a > 0\) and \(b > 0\) c. If \(f(x)=1 / x,\) show that \(c=2 a b /(a+b),\) the harmonic mean of \(a\) and \(b,\) for \(a > 0\) and \(b > 0\) d. Find an expression for \(c\) in terms of \(a\) and \(b\) for any (differentiable) function \(f\) whenever \(c\) exists.
General logarithmic and exponential derivatives Compute the following derivatives. Use logarithmic differentiation where appropriate. $$\frac{d}{d x}\left(x^{\pi}+\pi^{x}\right)$$
The position (in meters) of a marble rolling up a long incline is given by \(s=\frac{100 t}{t+1},\) where \(t\) is measured in seconds and \(s=0\) is the starting point. a. Graph the position function. b. Find the velocity function for the marble. c. Graph the velocity function and give a description of the motion of the marble. d. At what time is the marble 80 m from its starting point? e. At what time is the velocity \(50 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s} ?\)
Calculating limits exactly Use the definition of the derivative to evaluate the following limits. $$\lim _{x \rightarrow e} \frac{\ln x-1}{x-e}$$
General logarithmic and exponential derivatives Compute the following derivatives. Use logarithmic differentiation where appropriate. $$\frac{d}{d x}(\ln x)^{x^{2}}$$
