\[f(x)=2x^3+1\]
\[f'(x)=3x^2\]
\[f'(-1)=3\]
OpenStudy (christos):
dude f'(x) = 6x^2

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

That's why I asked you guys to cross over it

OpenStudy (christos):
ty
OpenStudy (anonymous):
and f(a) =2
OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (christos):
