(10 pts.) Find the tangent line to y=31x2 at x=1
Since y′=32x.
We have y(0)=31⋅02=0 and y′(0)=32⋅0=0.
Then y−y(0)=y′(0)(x−0)⇒y−0=0⋅(x−0)⇒y=0.
So the tangent line is y=0.
We have y(1)=31⋅12=31 and y′(1)=32⋅1=32.
Then y−y(1)=y′(1)(x−1)⇒y−31=32⋅(x−1)⇒y=32x−31.

(15 pts.) Find dxdy for the function for the function y defined implicitly by y4+xy=4 at x=3,y=1.
dxd(y4+xy)=(4y3)y′+y+xy′=y′(4y3+x)+y
Since y4+xy=4 and dxd4=0.
We have y′(4y3+x)+y=0
Then dxdy=y′=−4y3+xy=−4⋅13+31=−71 at x=3,y=1.

(15 pts.) Let
f(x)={ax+b,x4+x+1,x<1x≥1
Find all a and b such that the function f(x) is differentiable.
f′(x)={a,4x3+1,x<1x>1
So we have
{ax+b=x4+x+1a=4x3+1
at x=1.
Then
{a⋅1+b=14+1+1a=4⋅13+1
And we can get a=5,b=−2.
