Problem

Determine slope of the tangent at the given value, c. $f(x)=\sqrt{x+1}, a=0$

Solution

Step 1 :Let's find the derivative of the function \(f(x)=\sqrt{x+1}\).

Step 2 :The derivative of \(f(x)=\sqrt{x+1}\) is \(f'(x)=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{x+1}}\).

Step 3 :Substitute \(x=0\) into the derivative to find the slope of the tangent line at \(x=0\).

Step 4 :The slope of the tangent line to the function \(f(x)=\sqrt{x+1}\) at \(x=0\) is \(\boxed{\frac{1}{2}}\).
