what would the slope of this be: Find an equation for the tangent line to the graph of f(x) = (4−x)^3 at the point (2, 8).

OpenStudy (accessdenied):

You know how to take the derivative of the function?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got derivative = 192x^2 ?

OpenStudy (accessdenied):

hmm, that doesn't sound correct... f(x) = (4-x)^3 you could use chain rule here

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i didn't think so. lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

-3x^2+24x-48... there we go.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would the answer => y=32-12x ??

OpenStudy (accessdenied):

Yeah, that is correct. :)
