@lgbasallote I'd written so much but chrome showed me Aww snapp
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
AWWWW...we need to report this :(
OpenStudy (anonymous):
3x - 2 = 2ax + b
OpenStudy (anonymous):
at (1,1)

OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
you took the derivative right?
OpenStudy (ash2326):
3= 2ax+b
at (1,1)
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yeah
OpenStudy (anonymous):
okay so we got 3 -2 = 2a + b
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
this is substitution of (1,1)?

1 = 2a +b okay so we take one of them as eqn
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yep
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
hey...go slow will you -_- lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
so b = 1- 2a
OpenStudy (lgbasallote):
then..

@moha_10 Derivative of the parabola at (1,1 ) is the slope of the parabola and tangent to it at (1, 1)
We are given \(y=ax^2+bx\)
it's slope at (1, 1)=>(m= 2a+b\)
From the tangent's equation, slope is 3 so
\[3=2a+b\]
