What is the slope of the line tangent to the curve y+2 = (x^2/2) - 2siny at the point (2,0)?
, y+2 = (x^2/2) - 2sin(y)
so we are taking the derivative y in respect to x so we have
dy/dx use chain rule on y
so y' = 2x/2 - 2cos(y)y'
Now rearrange it to solve for y'
y' = 2x/2 - 2cos(y)y'
0 = x - 2cos(y)y' - y'
-x = y'(2cos(y) - 1)
-x/(2cos(y) - 1) = y'
we know when f(2) = 0 so thus y = 0
so when
f'(2) = -2/(2cos(0)-1)
2/2 = 1
f'(2) = -2/(2cos(0)-1)
cos(0) = 1
thus
f'(2) = -2/(2(1)-1)
= -2/-1
= 2
f'(2) = 2
Answer:
The slope of the line tangent to the given curve at the point (2,0) is 2/3.
Step-by-step explanation:
The given equation is
\(y+2=(\frac{x^2}{2})-2\sin y\)
we need to find the slope of the line tangent to the given curve at the point (2,0).
\(slope=\frac{dy}{dx}_{(2,0)}\)
Differentiate given equation with respect to x.
\(\frac{dy}{dx}+0=\frac{2x}{2}-2(\cos y)\frac{dy}{dx}\)
\(\frac{dy}{dx}=x-2\cos y\frac{dy}{dx}\)
\(\frac{dy}{dx}+2\cos y\frac{dy}{dx}=x\)
\((1+2\cos y)\frac{dy}{dx}=x\)
Divide both sides by(1+2cos y).
\(\frac{dy}{dx}=\frac{x}{(1+2\cos y)}\)
Substitute x=2 and y=0.
\(\frac{dy}{dx}_{(2,0)}=\frac{2}{1+2\cos (0)}\)
\(\frac{dy}{dx}_{(2,0)}=\frac{2}{1+2(1)}\)
\(\frac{dy}{dx}_{(2,0)}=\frac{2}{3}\)
Therefore the slope of the line tangent to the given curve at the point (2,0) is 2/3.
