In Exercises \(81-88\), (a) find an equation of the tangent line to the graph of \(f\) at the indicated point, (b) use a graphing utility to graph the function and its tangent line at the point, and (c) use the derivative feature of a graphing utility to confirm your results. \(\frac{\text { Function }}{y=4-x^{2}-\ln \left(\frac{1}{2} x+1\right)} \quad \frac{\text { Point }}{\left(0,4\right)}\)
Find equations of both tangent lines to the ellipse \(\frac{x^{2}}{4}+\frac{y^{2}}{9}=1\) that passes through the point (4,0).
Linear and Quadratic Approximations The linear and quadratic approximations of a function \(f\) at \(x=a\) are \(P_{1}(x)=f^{\prime}(a)(x-a)+f(a)\) and \(P_{2}(x)=\frac{1}{2} f^{\prime \prime}(a)(x-a)^{2}+f^{\prime}(a)(x-a)+f(a)\) \(\begin{array}{llll}\text { In Exercises } & 133-136, & \text { (a) find the specified linear and }\end{array}\) quadratic approximations of \(f,\) (b) use a graphing utility to graph \(f\) and the approximations, (c) determine whether \(P_{1}\) or \(P_{2}\) is the better approximation, and (d) state how the accuracy changes as you move farther from \(x=a\). \(f(x)=\tan \frac{\pi x}{4}\) \(a=1\)
If the annual rate of inflation averages \(5 \%\) over the next 10 years, the approximate cost \(C\) of goods or services during any year in that decade is \(C(t)=P(1.05)^{t},\) where \(t\) is the time in years and \(P\) is the present cost. (a) If the price of an oil change for your car is presently \(\$ 24.95,\) estimate the price 10 years from now. (b) Find the rate of change of \(C\) with respect to \(t\) when \(t=1\) and \(t=8\) (c) Verify that the rate of change of \(C\) is proportional to \(C\). What is the constant of proportionality?
In Exercises 37 and 38 , the derivative of the function has the same sign for all \(x\) in its domain, but the function is not one-to-one. Explain. $$ f(x)=\frac{x}{x^{2}-4} $$
