Explanation:
G(x) = (16x − 7) cos³(4x) − 9 sin⁻¹(x)
A) Use product rule, power rule, and chain rule to take the derivative.
G'(x) = (16x − 7) (3 cos²(4x) (-4 sin(4x))) + 16 cos³(4x) − 9 / √(1 − x²)
G'(x) = (-192x + 84) cos²(4x) sin(4x) + 16 cos³(4x) − 9 / √(1 − x²)
Evaluate at x = 0.
G'(0) = (0 + 84) cos²(0) sin(0) + 16 cos³(0) − 9 / √(1 − 0)
G'(0) = 16 − 9
G'(0) = 7
B) Use point-slope form of a line to write the equation.
y − (-7) = 7 (x − 0)
y + 7 = 7x
y = 7x − 7
