Question

Chapter 2.4, Problem 35E

(a)

To determine

To find: The equation of the tangents to the curve y=1x−1 that has slope −1.

(a)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 35E

The equation of the tangents to the curve y=1x−1 that has slope −1 are y=−x+3 at x=2 and y=−(x+1) at x=0.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The curve is y=1x−1 and the slope of the tangents is −1.

Calculation:

The formula for the slope of the curve f(x) at (a,f(a)) is equal to limh→0f(a+h)−f(a)h.

Substitute a+h for x in the function.

f(x)=1x−1f(a+h)=1a+h−1

Substitute a for x in the function.

f(x)=1x−1f(a)=1a−1

Substitute 1a+h−1 for f(a+h) and 1a−1 for f(a) in the formula for slope.

limh→0f(a+h)−f(a)h=limh→01a+h−1−1a−1h=limh→0a−1−(a+h−1)(a−1)(a+h−1)h=limh→0−hh(a−1)(a+h−1)=limh→0(−1(a−1)(a+h−1))

Further simplify.

limh→0f(a+h)−f(a)h=−1(a−1)(a+0−1)=−1(a−1)2

Equate the slope to −1.

−1(a−1)2=−1(a−1)2=1a−1=±1a=2,0

So, the points at which the tangent has the slope equal to −1 are x=2 and x=0.

The equation of the tangent line at x=2.

y−f(2)=m(x−2)y−1=−1(x−2)y−1=−x+2y=−x+3

The equation of the tangent line at x=0.

y−f(0)=m(x−0)y−(−1)=−1(x−0)y+1=−xy=−x−1

Therefore, the equation of the tangents to the curve y=1x−1 that has slope −1 are y=−x+3 at x=2 and y=−(x+1) at x=0.

(b)

To determine

To find: The equation of the normal to the curve y=1x−1 that has slope 1.

(b)

Expert Solution

Answer to Problem 35E

The equation of the normal to the curve y=1x−1 that has slope 1 is y=x−1 at both the points x=2 and x=0.

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

The curve is y=1x−1 and slope of normal is 1.

Calculation:

The points at which the tangent has the slope −1 are the same points where the normal has the slope equal to −1.

The equation of normal at x=2.

y−f(2)=m(x−2)y−1=1(x−2)y−1=x−2y=x−1

The equation of normal at x=0.

y−f(0)=m(x−0)y−(−1)=1(x−0)y+1=xy=x−1

Therefore, the equation of the normal to the curve y=1x−1 that has slope 1 is y=x−1 at both the points x=2 and x=0.
