f '( f !1 (3)) Notice that f '(x) = 5x 4 + 6x 2 +1 and f (1) = 15 + 2(1)3 +1!1 = 3 " f !1 (3) = 1 So f '(x) = 5x 4 + 6x 2 +1 d !1

Since the derivative of the function at the point x=3 represents the slope of the tangent line at that point, then the equation of the line in point-­‐slope form is: y !1 =

. (Don’t simplify!!! Just write the ln(x 2 + 3)
derivative.) Solution: !"ln(x 2 + 3)#$ % ! 1 % esin x + tan &1 x % esin x % cos x # & !"tan &1 (x)% esin x #$ % ! 1 % 2x #
