Tangents and normals to a curve at a given point
Tangent
The gradient of a curve, y = f
(x), at a point P with
coordinates (x1, y1) is given by
the derivative of y (the gradient
of the tangent) at the point:
dy
at ( x1 , y1 )
dx
The equation of the tangent can
then be found from the
equation:
dy
y y1 m( x x1 ) where m

Tangents and normals to a curve at a given point
Normal
The gradient of a curve, y = f (x), at a point P with
coordinates (x1, y1) is given by the derivative of y (the
gradient of the tangent) at the point:
dy
at ( x1 , y1 )
dx

The equation of the normal (perpendicular to the

tangent) can then be found from the equation:
1
y y1 m( x x1 ) where m
dy / dx

Total Revenue of an economic function
Exercise
*Diketahui fungsi total revenue TR = - Q2 + 15Q, pada
jumlah produk Q berapa akan mencapai revenue
maksimum ? Dan berapakah revenue maksimum ?

dTR
TRmax MR = 0 , MR = = -2Q + 15
dQ

-2Q + 15 = 0 Q = 7.5

Q = 7.5 TR = -(7.5)2 + 15.(7.5) = 56,25
