Can anyone help me? Find an equation of the line that is tangent to the graph of f and parallel to the given line. (The problem is in the link.) http://i.imgur.com/O917mtD.png I can't check my work since it's an even number... :< Am I right?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How come you have a \(\pm\)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so its not necessary? i wasnt too sure about that. how do you kno when to have the plus or minus?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It can't be a function if there is a \(\pm\) because that would mean multiple outputs.

The derivative looks 1 to 1, so I think there'd be only one point where it would be parallel.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohh okay, thanks. :D just to make sure, that means this doesn't have two equations, right? http://i.imgur.com/jndPtzo.png Instructions: Find an equation of the tangent line to the graph of f at the indicated point

Ooo I like your handwriting c: nice clean notes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thank you! xD

In question 24, what was `the given point` ? was it (-1, 1)? :o\ Just curious.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh, question 24 was for another problem. it didn't have a given point :<

zepdrix (zepdrix):

Oh you found the point >.< now i see it. woops.
