Find all values of x for which the line that is tangent to y = 3x - tan x is parallel to the line y - x = 2 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

also solve in steps sec(xy) = y find dy\dx?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

find dy/dx of y=3x-tanx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the gradient of the tangent is the same as the gradient of the parallel line

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you write the equation of the parallel line in y=mx+c \[y=x+2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

this means gradient of tangent is \[M_t=1\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the gradient of the tangent is also the gradeint of 3x-tanx

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the question seems pointless let @campbell_st

ok i see thx any way
