Why is 13 and -5 the wrong answer?
ill type it out if you cant see it
cant see it
where did you get the 13 from?
take the derivative, replace x by 1 and you should get 10 if i am not mistaken
For the function f(x) = 5x^2+3, find the equation of the tangent line to the graph of f at x=1. If the equation of the tangent line is written as: y=mx+b, what are m and b? m= b=
find f(1) to establish the point and find f'(1) to establish a slope
then y = mx + b y = f'(1)x -f'(1)+f(1)
i got 13 by getting 10(1)+3
5(1)+3 = 8
5(1^2) not= 10
..... youre talking the derivative tho lol
derivative of 5x^2+3 is 10x 10(1) = 10
i am going to guess that the mistake was in taking the derivative and getting \[y'=10x+3\] instead of the correct \[y'=10x\] just a guess
y = 10x -10+8 y = 10x -2
what amistre said
yeah my mistake was that i kept the 3 after taking the derivative
\[D_x[5x^2+3]=Dx[5x^2]+Dx[3]=10x + 0\]
thanks
