검증된 단계별 안내

Identify the function given: \(y = 2 - x - x^{3}\) and the point at which to find the tangent line, \(x_0 = \frac{3}{2}\).

Calculate the value of the function at \(x_0\) to find the point of tangency: compute \(f\left(\frac{3}{2}\right) = 2 - \frac{3}{2} - \left(\frac{3}{2}\right)^{3}\).

Find the derivative of the function \(f(x)\) to get the slope of the tangent line: \(f'(x) = \frac{d}{dx} \left(2 - x - x^{3}\right)\).

Evaluate the derivative at \(x_0\) to find the slope of the tangent line at that point: calculate \(f'\left(\frac{3}{2}\right)\).

Use the point-slope form of the line equation with the point \(\left(x_0, f(x_0)\right)\) and slope \(f'(x_0)\): write the tangent line as \(y - f\left(\frac{3}{2}\right) = f'\left(\frac{3}{2}\right) \left(x - \frac{3}{2}\right)\).

주요 개념

질문에 올바르게 답하기 위해 반드시 이해해야 하는 핵심 개념들은 다음과 같습니다.

Derivative and Tangent Line

The derivative of a function at a point gives the slope of the tangent line to the function's graph at that point. To find the tangent line equation, compute the derivative at x₀ to get the slope, then use the point-slope form with (x₀, f(x₀)). This line approximates the function near x₀.

Evaluating Functions and Derivatives at a Point

Evaluating the function and its derivative at a specific point x₀ involves substituting x₀ into the function and its derivative expression. This provides the coordinates of the point on the curve and the slope of the tangent line, both essential for writing the tangent line equation.

Using Computer Algebra Systems (CAS)

A CAS can symbolically compute derivatives and evaluate expressions, simplifying the process of finding tangent lines. It helps avoid manual calculation errors and speeds up solving, especially for complex functions like polynomials or when working with inverse functions.
