What is the equation of the line tangent to #f(x)=x^2 + sin2x # at #x=pi/4#? Calculus Derivatives Tangent Line to a Curve 1 Answer 1s2s2p Oct 17, 2017 #y=(\pix)/2+(16-\pi^2)/16# Explanation: #y=x^2+sin2x=u+v# #(dy)/(dx)=uv'+vu'# #u'=2x# #v'=2cos2x# #(dy)/(dx)=2xsin2x+2x^2cos2x# #2(\pi/4)sin(2*\pi/4)+2(\pi/4)^2cos(2*\pi/4)=\pi/2# #y=(\pi/4)^2+sin(2*\pi/4)=1+\pi^2/16# #1/1+\pi^2/16=(16+\pi^2)/16# #y=mx+c# #(16+\pi^2)/16=\pi/2(\pi/4)+c# #c=(16+\pi^2)/16-\pi^2/8=(16+\pi^2-2\pi^2)/16=(16-\pi^2)/16# #y=(\pix)/2+(16-\pi^2)/16# Answer link Related questions How do you find the equation of a tangent line to a curve?
