tangent of f(x)= 7/x ,\at x=2,x=7

tangent of

f (x) = \frac{7}{x}, at x = 2, x = 7

y = - \frac{7}{4} x + 7

Solution steps

Find the tangent point:

(2, \frac{7}{2})

Find the slope of

f (x) = \frac{7}{x} : \frac{df ( x )}{d x} = - \frac{7}{x ^{2}}

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 = - \frac{7}{4}

Find the line with slope m=

- \frac{7}{4}

and passing through

(2, \frac{7}{2}) : y = - \frac{7}{4} x + 7

y = - \frac{7}{4} x + 7
