Find the y-intercept of the tangent line to the graph of f(x) = 3x^3 + 5x^2 + 3x + 4 at P = (−1, 3). 1. y-intercept = 4 2. y-intercept = 8 3. y-intercept = 7 4. y-intercept = 6 5. y-intercept = 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you just plug in the y-intercept to the "x" im pretty sure

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It's the first one y-intercept=4

OpenStudy (ybarrap):

Do you know how to take a derivative?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it wasn't :( @allabouthistory and yes @ybarrap

OpenStudy (ybarrap):

ok. Take the derivative and set x=-1, this will give you the slope at that point. Tell me what you get.
