The particle is initially at 1 (t=0). It

moves to the left speeding up untilt=1,

when it reaches−1. Then it continues

moving to the left, but slowing down until

t=2at−3. The particle reverses

direction, moving to the right and

speeding up indefinitely.

14. Linear approximation:
    y=f(a)+f′(a)(x−a)a=π
    f(x)=sinxand f(π)=sinπ= 0
    f′(x)=cosxand f′(π)=cosπ=−1.
    Thus,y= 0 +(−1)(x−π)or
    y=−x+π.
    f

is approximately:

y=−

⎠+π=−π

or≈− 0. 0175.

15. y=f(a)+f′(a)(x−a)
    f(x)=ln (1+x) andf(2)=ln (1+2)=ln 3

f′(x)=

and f′(2)=

Thus,y=ln 3+

Step 3: Find points of tangency.

Aty=0,y^2 = 4 − 4 x^2 becomes

0 = 4 − 4 x^2

⇒x=±1.

Thus, points of tangency are

(1, 0) and (−1, 0).

Step 4: Write equations of vertical

tangentsx=1 andx=−1.

17. Step 1: Find

Step 2: Find thex-coordinate of point(s)

of tangency.

Parallel tangents⇒slopes are

equal. Set
