Textbook QuestionTangent lines Suppose f(2)=2 and f′(2) =3. Let g(x) = x²f(x) and h(x) = f(x) / x−3.b. Find an equation of the line tangent to y = h(x) at x=2.
Textbook QuestionThe right-sided and left-sided derivatives of a function at a point aaa are given by f+′(a)=limh→0+f(a+h)−f(a)hf_{+}^{\(\prime\)}\(\left\)(a\(\right\))={\(\displaystyle\]\lim\)_{h\(\to\)0^{+}}{\(\frac{f(a+h)-f(a)}{h}\)}} and f−′(a)=limh→0−f(a+h)−f(a)hf_{-}^{\(\prime\)}\(\left\)(a\(\right\))={\(\displaystyle\]\lim\)_{h\(\to\)0^{-}}{\(\frac{f(a+h)-f(a)}{h}\)}}, respectively, provided these limits exist. The derivative f′(a)f^{\(\prime\)}\(\left\)(a\(\right\))f′(a) exists if and only if f+′(a)=f−′(a)f_{+}^{\(\prime\)}\(\left\)(a\(\right\))=f_{-}^{\(\prime\)}\(\left\)(a\(\right\))f+′(a)=f−′(a).Compute f+′(a)f_{+}^{\(\prime\)}\(\left\)(a\(\right\))f+′(a) and f−′(a)f_{-}^{\(\prime\)}\(\left\)(a\(\right\))f−′(a) at the given point aaa.f(x)={4−x2 if x≤12x+1 if x>1f(x)=\(\begin{cases}\)4-x^2~\(\text{if}\)~x\(\leq{1}\)\\2x+1~\(\text{if}\)~x\(\gt{1}\]\end{cases}\); a=1a=1
