Math Problem Statement

27. f(x) = 1/(x^2 + 1) on [-1, 1] 28. f(x) = 1/x on [1, e]

Solution

You have provided two functions to analyze:

  1. f(x)=1x2+1f(x) = \frac{1}{x^2 + 1} on the interval [1,1][-1, 1]
  2. f(x)=1xf(x) = \frac{1}{x} on the interval [1,e][1, e]

Let me know if you would like me to solve a specific problem related to these functions, such as integration, finding derivatives, analyzing their behavior, or any other operation!

For now, here are five related questions:

  1. What is the derivative of f(x)=1x2+1f(x) = \frac{1}{x^2 + 1} on [1,1][-1, 1]?
  2. Can you calculate the integral of f(x)=1x2+1f(x) = \frac{1}{x^2 + 1} on [1,1][-1, 1]?
  3. What is the limit of f(x)=1xf(x) = \frac{1}{x} as xx approaches 1 from the right on [1,e][1, e]?
  4. How does the function f(x)=1x2+1f(x) = \frac{1}{x^2 + 1} behave in terms of concavity and critical points?
  5. Can we find the area under the curve for f(x)=1xf(x) = \frac{1}{x} on [1,e][1, e]?

Tip: For rational functions, it's useful to identify key points such as limits, vertical asymptotes, and intervals of increasing/decreasing behavior to understand their overall structure.
