slope of the curve f(x)=x^2 at the point (a,a^2) is

hero (hero):

@cutestpearl, Do you know how to find f'(x)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup the f'(x) will be 2x

hero (hero):

And you know f'(x) = slope of the given function, so f'(a) equals?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2a ??

hero (hero):

Correct

OpenStudy (anonymous):

thnx got it :)

one more slope of the tangent M to the graph of f(X)= 5x^2-4x is given by

OpenStudy (anonymous):

will the answer be M=10x-4 ??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yup

OpenStudy (anonymous):

alright ty :)
