Calculus Can Be Used to Find the Slope of the Line

Question 230

Multiple Choice

Calculus can be used to find the slope of the line tangent to a curve. The slope of the tangent to the curve y=f(x)  at x=ay = f ( x ) \text { at } x = a is f'(a) . Use f'(x) to find the slope of the tangent to y=f(x) y = f ( x ) at the given value of x.
-The derivative of a function can be used to find the slope of the line tangent to its graph. If the slope of the line tangent to the graph of f(x) =x2+xf ( x ) = x ^ { 2 } + x at (5,30) ( 5,30 ) is 11 , write the equation of this tangent line.


A) y=11x+85y = - 11 x + 85
B) y=11x25y = 11 x - 25
C) y=11x+25y = 11 x + 25
D) y=11x85y = - 11 x - 85
