Find an equation of the tangent line to the graph of f at the given point... f(x) =3x^2 - ln x (1,3)

OpenStudy (raden):

first, u have to determine the value of slope (m), with m = f '(x)

OpenStudy (raden):

i meant, after u get f '(x). to find of slope (m) just put x=1 to f '(x), in other words m = f '(1)

OpenStudy (raden):

and finally, use the formula : y - y1 = m (x-x1) to get an equation of the tangent line to that curve. good luck
