9.3 The Chain Rule

Question 2

The point P P\,P lies on the curve with equation y=22x+1\displaystyle y = \frac{2}{\sqrt{2x + 1}}y=2x+1​2​ with x x\,x coordinate 12

The tangent intersects the x x\,x axis at the point A A\,A and the y y\,y axis at the point BBB. Find an equation to the tangent to the curve at the point P P\,P and hence find the exact area of the triangle AOBAOBAOB, where O O\,O is the origin.

A coordinate sketch shows the curve y = 2/√(2x + 1), its tangent at P, and the tangent meeting the axes at A and B, with O at the origin.
