Can someone help me with these two problems and explain in detail showing work.
Solution
differentiating f(x)
f\'(x) = -1/2x1/x sqrtx
equating this to the slope of the line
-1/2 x 1/xsqrtx = -1/2
x =1
f(1) = 1
eqn of line is (y-1)/(x-1) = -1/2
applying the same as above we get
x=2
f(2)=1
(y-1)/(x-2) = -1/2
