tangent of f(x)=(x^2)/(x+4),\at x=2

tangent of

f (x) = \frac{x ^{2}}{x + 4}, at x = 2

y = \frac{5}{9} x - \frac{4}{9}

Solution steps

Find the tangent point:

(2, \frac{2}{3})

Find the slope of

f (x) = \frac{x ^{2}}{x + 4} : \frac{df ( x )}{d x} = \frac{x ^{2} + 8 x}{( x + 4 ) ^{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{5}{9}

Find the line with slope m=

\frac{5}{9}

and passing through

(2, \frac{2}{3}) : y = \frac{5}{9} x - \frac{4}{9}

y = \frac{5}{9} x - \frac{4}{9}
