tangent of f(x)= 2/(x+1),\at x=-3

tangent of

f (x) = \frac{2}{x + 1}, at x = - 3

y = - \frac{1}{2} x - \frac{5}{2}

Solution steps

Find the tangent point:

(- 3, - 1)

Find the slope of

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

Find the line with slope m=

- \frac{1}{2}

and passing through

(- 3, - 1) : y = - \frac{1}{2} x - \frac{5}{2}

y = - \frac{1}{2} x - \frac{5}{2}
