To check: Whether the curve
Answer to Problem 15E
The curve
Explanation of Solution
Given information:
The curve is
Calculation:
For the tangent of the curve
The function corresponding to the left side of the point
Check the slope of the curve from the left side of
Substitute
Substitute
Substitute
So, the slope of the curve
The function corresponding to the right side of the point
Check the slope of the curve from the right side of
Substitute
Substitute
Substitute
Further simplify,
So, the slope of the curve
The slope of the given curve from the left side of point
Therefore, the curve
