Question

Can you show the work for exponents, How did (x^3-x)/sqrt(x) = to x^3-1/3 - X^1-1/2 = x^5/2 - x^1/2

 

Solutions:
1. Find the equation of the tangent line to the function f(x)
x = 25.
I
Let f(x) = 2³-²
At x = 25, f(25)
5
Then f'(x) = -¹-1-¹-2/2 - 11/2
2
f'(25)
x²³²x²¹ ²² = x/2 - ¹/2

m =
312.4

Using the Slope-Point Formula to get the equation of the tangent line,
we obtain y- 3120 = 312.4(x - 25), or y = 312.4x 4690
