Question

Find the equation of the straight line described below.

At right angles to y=e^x^6 ; at the point where x = 1

Answer 1

take the derivative
replace \(x\) by 1 to get the slope of the tangent line
take the negative reciprocal of that to get the slope of the perpendicular line
use the point slope formula to get the equation of the line
let me know if you have trouble with any step

Answer 2

@satellite73 , im stuck on the 3rd step, taking the negative reciprocal...
