- [ 3 ] Let ` be the line through (0 , 0) and tangent to the curve y = x + x + 16. Find the slope of ` .
3 3
Answer: 13 Let the point of tangency be ( t, t + t + 16), then the slope of
is ( t + t + 16) /t . On 2 2 the other hand, since dy/dx = 3 x + 1, the slope ofis 3 t + 1. Therefore, 3 t + t + 16 2 = 3 t + 1 . t 3 2 Simplifying, we get t = 8, so t = 2. It follows that the slope is 3(2) + 1 = 13. ∫ y 1
