part 6 A) we can simplify the k(x) to equal 2/x^(1/2) + 6*x^(3/2)
now we can go ahead and do are integration on each term
f(x)=2/x^(1/2) so f'(x)=- 1/x^(3/2)
f(x)=6*x^(3/2) so f'(x)=9*x^(1/2)
so k'(x)=9*x^(1/2) - 1/x^(3/2)

the slope of the line at x=4 is k'(4)= *4^(1/2) - 1/4^(3/2)=143/8=m
now we need the point it goes through
k(4)= 2/4^(1/2) + 6*4^(3/2)=49
the point is (4,49) = (x1,y1)
now use point slope form
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
which is y=143/8*(x-4)+49
simplified the equation is
y=143/8*x - 45/2
the graph of both are below
