tangent of f(x)=(1+x)^{4/x},\at x=1

tangent

y = 64 (- ln (2) + \frac{1}{2}) x + 64 ln (2) - 16

Solution steps

Find the tangent point:

(1, 16)

Find the slope of

f (x) = (1 + x)^{\frac{4}{x}} : \frac{df ( x )}{d x} = 4 (- \frac{ln ( 1 + x )}{x ^{2}} + \frac{1}{x ( 1 + x )}) (1 + x)^{\frac{4}{x}}

EN : T i tl e G e n er a l Eq u a t i o n Sl o p e A t P o in t 2 Eq : m = 64 (- ln (2) + \frac{1}{2})

Find the line with slope m=

64 (- ln (2) + \frac{1}{2})

and passing through

(1, 16) : y = 64 (- ln (2) + \frac{1}{2}) x + 64 ln (2) - 16

y = 64 (- ln (2) + \frac{1}{2}) x + 64 ln (2) - 16
