Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Find the tangent line for y = ln(x) at x = 1 and express the normal line equation.

💡 Hint: Determine the derivative at x = 1, then apply point-slope form.

Challenge 2 Hard

Consider the curve y = x^2 as it intersects y = x + 1 at a point. Find the tangent and normal at that point.

💡 Hint: Set the two equations equal to find the intersection, then find derivatives at that point.
