    (x) = ln(2 − x) at x = 1. Solution. By using the chain rule‚ we have √ dy d ln(2 − x = dx dx √ √ d ln(2 − x) d(2 − x) √ = d(2 − x) dx 1 11 √ −√ = 2− x 2x 1 √. = 2(x − 2 x) Evaluate the slope when x = 1‚ 1 dy = = −0.5 dx x=1 2(1 − 2) The y coordinate is 0 when x = 1. The point-slope form gives the required equation of the line tangent to f (x): y = −0.5(x − 1) at x = 1. Sec11-3 Q54 Find the absolute maximum value of f (x) = ln(x2 e−x ). Solution.
