Limits, Can you help me out with this please: http://screencast.com/t/lLsaUJErdX

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f(x)=2x^3+1\] \[f'(x)=3x^2\] \[f'(-1)=3\]

OpenStudy (christos):

dude f'(x) = 6x^2

OpenStudy (christos):

@satellite73

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh right

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so \(f'(-1)=6\) is the slope

OpenStudy (christos):

I know the slope, the rest is what I dont know

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you have the slope and the point use the point - slope formula

OpenStudy (anonymous):

slope is \(6\) and the point is \((-1,-2)\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oops \((-1,-1)\)

OpenStudy (christos):

You see, I already have the solution. But I believe it's wrong http://screencast.com/t/2tjXXmjz9 That's why I asked you guys to cross over it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[y+1=6(x+1)\]

OpenStudy (christos):

Is this wrong like I believe http://screencast.com/t/2tjXXmjz9 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah that is wrong for sure

OpenStudy (christos):

ty god

OpenStudy (christos):

I knew it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes a=1 and not -1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[f(-1)=2\times (-1)^2+1=-2+1=-1\]

OpenStudy (christos):

ty

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and f(a) =2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its just wrong don't waste time thinking about it

OpenStudy (christos):

My final result y = 6x + 7

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no y=6x+1

OpenStudy (christos):

Kinda why
