If g(x)= -3x^3+5x-3, then the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the tangent line at x=1 would be...

A. 4
B. -4
C. 2
D. -1/4
E. 1/4

Respuesta :

The slope of the line that is perpendicular to the tangent line at x=1 is, [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex]

Option E is correct.

Slope of line:

The derivative of given function with respect to x is known as slope of function.

Given function is, [tex]g(x)=-3x^{3}+5x-3[/tex]

Now differentiate the above function.

     [tex]\frac{dg(x)}{dt}=-9x^{2} +5[/tex]

 [tex]\frac{dg(x)}{dx}[/tex] at [tex]x=1[/tex] is,

        [tex]\frac{dg}{dt} =-9(1)^{2}+5 =-4[/tex]

the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the tangent line at x=1 is,

       Slope[tex]=-\frac{1}{dg/dx}=\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
