  2. The Question

  3. Graphs of f and f’ Graph of f Graph of f’

  4. Part A • Write an equation for the line tangent to • To write an equation, we need to find the point and the slope of the specific x Point: Slope:

  5. Part A (cont’d) Point: Slope: • After we obtained the slope and the point, we can apply them to point-slope formula to write an equation Point-Slope Formula:

  6. Part B • Find the x-coordinate of the critical point of . Determine whether this point is a relative minimum, a relative maximum, or neither for the function . Justify your answer. • To find critical point, we set first derivative to zero.

  7. Part B (cont’d) • After we found the critical point, we can determine its relative condition by the 1st derivative test. Since the f’(x) changes from positive to negative, f (x) obtains relative maximum at x=e.

  8. Part C • The graph of the function has exactly one point of inflection. Find the x-coordinate of this point. • Point of inflection: point where changes of concavity happened We can find point of inflection by setting 2nd derivative to zero. Since = 0 at , the x-coordinate of the point of inflection is

  9. Part D Find • There are three ways to find a limit. • Numerically • Directly plug in number into the original function

  10. Part D (cont’d) • 2.Graphically As the graph clearly shown, when x approaches to 0 from the right, the function gets closer to .

  11. Part D (cont’d) • 3. Analysis As the value of x get closer and closer to 0, the y value graduate get closer and closer to negative infinite
