Question

at what points does the curve y= x^3 slope at 45 degrees?

Answer 1

slope at 45 degrees with the x-axis, right?

Answer 2

yes i think so

Answer 3

the line tangent to the curve must have a slope of 1/2-->the derivative of the x^3=1/2

Answer 4

the derivative of the line tangent to the curve at point a is 1

Answer 5

i don't get it

Answer 6

is this for calculus?

Answer 7

yes

Answer 8

well, think about it. The slope of line y=x is 45 degrees, and it has a slope of 1

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

so the derivative of the curve at point a is the slope of the line tangent to the curve at point a = 1

Answer 11

meaning the derivative of x^3 at a is 1

Answer 12

OHHHHH i understand now thanks ^^

Answer 13

so do u need the solution, or you got it?
