To check: Whether the curve
Answer to Problem 17E
Yes, 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
The slope of the curve from the left side of
Substitute
Substitute
Substitute
Further simplify.
So, the slope of the curve from the left side of the point
The function corresponding to the right side of the point
The slope of the curve from the right side of
Substitute
Substitute
Substitute
Further simplify.
So, the slope of the curve from the right side of the point
The slope of the curve from the left side of point
Therefore, the curve
