Q. The function f f is defined by f(x)=x3+cos(2x2+5) f(x)=x^{3}+\cos \left(2 x^{2}+5\right) . Use a calculator to write the equation of the line tangent to the graph of f f when x=1 x=1 . You should round all decimals to 33 places.\newlineAnswer:
  1. Calculate Derivative: To find the equation of the tangent line at x=1x = 1, we need to calculate the derivative of f(x)f(x) to get f(x)f'(x), which will give us the slope of the tangent line at that point.\newlinef(x)=ddx[x3+cos(2x2+5)]f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx} [x^3 + \cos(2x^2 + 5)]\newlineUsing the power rule for the x3x^3 term and the chain rule for the cosine term, we get:\newlinef(x)=3x2sin(2x2+5)ddx[2x2+5]f'(x) = 3x^2 - \sin(2x^2 + 5) \cdot \frac{d}{dx} [2x^2 + 5]\newlinef(x)=3x2sin(2x2+5)(4x)f'(x) = 3x^2 - \sin(2x^2 + 5) \cdot (4x)\newlineNow we need to evaluate this derivative at x=1x = 1.
  2. Evaluate Derivative at x=1x=1: Plugging x=1x = 1 into the derivative, we get:\newlinef(1)=3(1)2sin(2(1)2+5)(4(1))f'(1) = 3(1)^2 - \sin(2(1)^2 + 5) \cdot (4(1))\newlinef(1)=3sin(7)4f'(1) = 3 - \sin(7) \cdot 4\newlineUsing a calculator to find sin(7)\sin(7) (in radians) and rounding to three decimal places, we get:\newlinesin(7)0.657\sin(7) \approx 0.657 (rounded to three decimal places)\newlinef(1)=30.6574f'(1) = 3 - 0.657 \cdot 4\newlinef(1)=32.628f'(1) = 3 - 2.628\newlinef(1)=0.372f'(1) = 0.372 (rounded to three decimal places)\newlineThis is the slope of the tangent line at x=1x = 1.
  3. Find y-coordinate at x=11: Next, we need to find the y-coordinate of the point on the graph of f(x)f(x) at x=1x = 1 to use it in the point-slope form of the equation of a line.\newlinef(1)=13+cos(2(1)2+5)f(1) = 1^3 + \cos(2(1)^2 + 5)\newlinef(1)=1+cos(9)f(1) = 1 + \cos(9)\newlineUsing a calculator to find cos(9)\cos(9) (in radians) and rounding to three decimal places, we get:\newlinecos(9)0.911\cos(9) \approx -0.911 (rounded to three decimal places)\newlinef(1)=10.911f(1) = 1 - 0.911\newlinef(1)=0.089f(1) = 0.089 (rounded to three decimal places)\newlineNow we have the point (1,0.089)(1, 0.089) on the graph of f(x)f(x).
  4. Use Point-Slope Form: We can now use the point-slope form of the equation of a line, which is yy1=m(xx1)y - y_1 = m(x - x_1), where mm is the slope and (x1,y1)(x_1, y_1) is a point on the line.\newlineUsing the slope 0.3720.372 and the point (1,0.089)(1, 0.089), we get:\newliney0.089=0.372(x1)y - 0.089 = 0.372(x - 1)\newlineTo write the equation in slope-intercept form, we solve for yy:\newliney=0.372x0.372+0.089y = 0.372x - 0.372 + 0.089\newliney=0.372x0.283y = 0.372x - 0.283 (rounded to three decimal places)\newlineThis is the equation of the tangent line at x=1x = 1.
