Determine the point on the graph of f(x)=-3x^3 where the tangent line at this point is perpendicular to the line y=4x-1.

OpenStudy (ranga):

Slope of the line y=4x-1 is 4. The slope of the perpendicular line will be -1/4. f(x) = -3x^3 slope = f'(x) = -9x^2 Equate the slope -9x^2 to -1/4 and solve for x.

@starshine what did you get for x?
