c. Find the slopes of the tangent lines to the graphs of f and g at (1, 1) and (−1, −1) (four tangent lines in all).
Guida verificata passo dopo passo1
Identify the functions \( f(x) \) and \( g(x) \) whose tangent line slopes you need to find. The problem refers to points \((1, 1)\) and \((-1, -1)\), so ensure you have the explicit forms of \( f(x) \) and \( g(x) \) before proceeding.
Find the derivatives \( f'(x) \) and \( g'(x) \) of the functions \( f(x) \) and \( g(x) \) respectively. The derivative represents the slope of the tangent line at any point \( x \). Use differentiation rules such as the power rule, product rule, or chain rule as needed.
Evaluate the derivative \( f'(x) \) at \( x = 1 \) to find the slope of the tangent line to \( f \) at the point \( (1, 1) \). Similarly, evaluate \( f'(x) \) at \( x = -1 \) to find the slope at \( (-1, -1) \).
Evaluate the derivative \( g'(x) \) at \( x = 1 \) to find the slope of the tangent line to \( g \) at the point \( (1, 1) \). Then evaluate \( g'(x) \) at \( x = -1 \) to find the slope at \( (-1, -1) \).
Summarize the four slopes obtained: two from \( f'(x) \) at \( x = 1 \) and \( x = -1 \), and two from \( g'(x) \) at the same points. These represent the slopes of the tangent lines to the graphs of \( f \) and \( g \) at the given points.

Derivative as the Slope of the Tangent Line
The derivative of a function at a given point represents the slope of the tangent line to the graph at that point. It measures the instantaneous rate of change of the function with respect to the independent variable.

Slopes of Tangent Lines
Evaluating the Derivative at Specific Points
To find the slope of the tangent line at a particular point, you first compute the derivative function and then substitute the x-coordinate of the point into this derivative. This yields the slope value at that exact location.

Understanding the Coordinates of Points on the Graph
The points given, such as (1, 1) and (−1, −1), lie on the graphs of the functions f and g. Confirming these points satisfy the function equations ensures the tangent lines are correctly evaluated at valid points on the curves.

23. Human evolution continues The analysis of tooth shrinkage by C. Loring Brace and colleagues at the University of Michigan’s Museum of Anthropology indicates that human tooth size is continuing to decrease and that the evolutionary process has not yet come to a halt. In northern Europeans, for example, tooth size reduction now has a rate of 1% per 1000 years.
c. What will be our descendants’ tooth size 20,000 years from now (as a percentage of our present tooth size)?
