| | More antiderivative questions 1) f(x) = -13/(1 +x^2 )
The question is to find the antiderivative. I'd assume it would be inverse tangent X -13. Am I correct?
2) (1 pt) Given that the graph of f(x) passes through the point (5,5) and that the slope of its tangent line at (x,f(x)) is 4x +5 what is f(3)? |

2.  . Substitute (5, 5) to get the value of C. Then substitute x = 3 to get the required value of y.
