To find the equation of the normal line to the graph of y=2xsqrt(x^2+8)+2 at point (0,2), we need to determine the slope of the tangent line at that point.
First, we find the derivative of the given function y=2xsqrt(x^2+8)+2 with respect to x.
Using the product rule and chain rule, the derivative is:
dy/dx = 2sqrt(x^2+8) + 2x(1/2)(x^2+8)^(-1/2)(2x)
Simplifying further, we have:
dy/dx = 2sqrt(x^2+8) + 2x^2/(sqrt(x^2+8))
Next, we substitute x=0 into the derivative to find the slope of the tangent line at (0,2):
dy/dx = 2sqrt(0^2+8) + 2(0)^2/(sqrt(0^2+8))
Simplifying, we get:
dy/dx = 2sqrt(8) + 0
Therefore, the slope of the tangent line at (0,2) is 2sqrt(8).
Since the normal line is perpendicular to the tangent line, the slope of the normal line is the negative reciprocal of the slope of the tangent line.
Hence, the slope of the normal line is -1/(2sqrt(8)).
Using the point-slope form of a line, we can write the equation of the normal line:
y - 2 = (-1/(2sqrt(8)))(x - 0)
Simplifying, we have:
y - 2 = (-1/(2sqrt(8)))x
Rearranging the equation, we get the equation of the normal line to the graph of y=2xsqrt(x^2+8)+2 at point (0,2):
y = (-1/(2sqrt(8)))x + 2

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
