Take the derivative of the function. f'(x). Then plug in x to find the slope of the tangent at that point. Then use point-slope form to find the line.

what do you mean by 'tangent' of a function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I suppose that is a better question ^^.

OpenStudy (amistre64):

y = tan(sin-1(x)) ? :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

YOU WOULD.

OpenStudy (amistre64):
