Find the equation of the tangent line for y=x+1x at the point (4,0.4). To find the equation of the tangent line you need to know a point and the slope. To find the slope of the of the tangent you need to find of y. To find the derivative of y you would use the , which states that Using the quotient rule, y′= (rewrite the square root using rational exponent and do not simplify y′.) Simplifying, y′= The slope of the tangent line at x=4 is The equation of the tangent line in point-slope form is The equation of the tangent line in slope intercept form is y=
