In Exercises 39-42, find the slant asymptotes of the graphs of the function. Then sketch the graph of the function. $$ f(x)=e^{-x}+x $$
Let $$ f(x)=\frac{x^{2 n}-1}{x^{2 n}+1} $$ a. Plot the graphs of \(f\) for \(n=1,5,10,100\), and \(1000 .\) Do these graphs approach a "limiting" graph as \(n\) approaches infinity? b. Can you prove this result analytically?
Show that the isosceles triangle of maximum area that can be inscribed in a circle of fixed radius \(a\) is equilateral.
Establishing a Trust Fund The parents of a child wish to establish a trust fund for the child's college education. If they need an estimated \(\$ 96,0008\) years from now and they are able to invest the money at \(8.5 \%\) compounded continuously in the interim, how much should they set aside in trust now?
Use Newton's method to approximate the indicated zero of the function. Continue with the iteration until two successive approximations differ by less than \(0.0001\). The zero of \(f(x)=x^{5}+2 x^{4}+2 x-4\) between \(x=0\) and \(x=1\). Take \(x_{0}=0.5\).
