With what?

mathmale · Answer

If you want to find the equation of the tangent line to a curve at a given point, you need first to have the definition of the function involved, and the coordinates of that point.

So is that the answer to the first question then?

Hayday:  Definitely not.  "What is the tangent line problem" is inadequate as a problem statement.  Are you sure you read the problem carefully and shared instructions along with the equation of the function of interest?

that is what the problem is, thats all it is.
