equation of tangent line for f(x) = x squared tan (4 - 3x) at the point x=0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you got the derivative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i got -3x squared sec squared (4-3x) + 2x tan(4-3x) ...but i'm a bit rusty so im not sure thats correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yeah that looks good \[f'(x)=-3x^2\sec^2(4-3x)+2x\tan(4-3x)\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and so \(f'(0)=0\)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you line is therefore horizontal

OpenStudy (anonymous):

many thanks!
