Question

f(x) = −6x2 + 2x

Answer 1

yeah? what do you need?

Answer 2

Use the four-step process to find the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the given function at any point.

Answer 3

Why not find the first derivative and just be done?

Answer 4

That's just what it asked for. Each step

Answer 5

In my mind, there is only one. Find the 1st derivative. Done.

Answer 6

Maybe we're supposed to go shopping before and after? No, that's still only 3 steps.

Answer 7

let x=c be any point on the graph.
Then
\[f \prime(c)=\lim_{x \rightarrow c}\frac{ f(x)-f(c) }{ x-c }\]

Answer 8

set a different quotient

Answer 9
