Whats the full question its hard to find out when the problem isnt there also the image is blank

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

The link does not work, just show us your work and we can check it step by step

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i will just write it here hold on

OpenStudy (anonymous):

determine the slope of the tanjent x^(3)-5x^2 , x=2

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

so this is calc?

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

I assume, it is asking for the slope of the Tangent line given \(f(x)=x^3-5x^2\) at the point x=2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):

ok, so what is your point you are finding the tan line at?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

we have to find the slope

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

take derivative .. use power rule

OpenStudy (dumbcow):

d/dx = 3x^2 - 10x , plug in x=2 =12 - 20 = -8
