$$y=\frac{−1}{5+5\ln 5}x+(5+\frac{1}{5+5\ln 5})$$

356) [T] Find the equation of the tangent line to the graph of $$x^3−x\ln y+y^3=2x+5$$ at the point where $$x=2$$. (Hint: Use implicit differentiation to find $$\frac{dy}{dx}$$.) Graph both the curve and the tangent line.

J357)

use the graph of $$y=f(x)$$ (shown below) to

a. sketch the graph of $$y=f^{−1}(x)$$, and

b. use part a. to estimate $$(f^{−1})′(1)$$.

b. $$(f^{−1})′(1)~2$$

For the next set of exercises, find $$\frac{dy}{dx}$$. [Hint: first take the ln of both sides.]
