1. differentiate f(x)= loge(x) / (x^2+1)

2. Find the equation of the tangent of y= loge(x) at the point (e,1)

3. upper limit 36, lower limit 0  dx/(2x+9)= loge(k), then k is:

Thanks

2. y= loge(x), with point (e,1)

Find derivative,

dy/dx = 1/x

let x=e

dy/dx = 1/e = m

Use the formula y - y1 = m (x - x1), substitute y1 = 1, x1 = e, m = 1/e

y - 1 = 1/e (x - e)

y - 1 = x/e - 1

y = x/e

where did the 2 come from?

I put the 2 there so that the integral could be expressed in the form .  Notice the term out the front of the integral, so the 2 and the 0.5 cancel each other out, leaving the answer the same.
