Find an equation of the tangent line to the curve at the given point.
y = sec x, (π/6, 2√3/3)
The equation of tangent to the curve f(x) at (a , b) can be found by finding the slope of tangent which is f'(a)
f(x) = sec x
f'(x)= secx tanx
Now at the point (π/6, 2√3/3)
f'(x) = sec π/6 tan π/6
f'(x) = (2/√3)(1/√3)
f'(x) = 2/3
Slope = m
Thus the required equation is (y - 2√3/3) = 2/3 (x - π/6).
Find an equation of the tangent line to the curve at the given point.
y = sec x, (π/6, 2√3/3)
Summary:
The equation of the tangent line to the curve at the given point is (y - 2√3/3) = 2/3(x - π/6).
