Question

Equation of the tangent line

Answer 1

for: f(x) = (x-2)^(1/3) / (x^3 +4x -1)^2
at x = 1

Answer 2

I tried it but cant get the slope right its supposed to be 23/96

Answer 3

did you find derivative at x=1?

Answer 4

i got 61.3/256

Answer 5

hmm probably made a mistake when you did derivative

Answer 6

in this case all i do is repeat the derivative and make sure i got thing the right way

Answer 7

wait i can just check an online derivative thing. i can probably figure it out lol

Answer 8

hhh why don't you work it out instead that way you learn

Answer 9

wolfram will give you derivative if you just look for an answer lol

Answer 10

oknthanks

Answer 11

Answer 12

that should be the derivative

Answer 13

Yup I got it just a little arithmetic mistake

Answer 14

tangent line you need a point
where is it?

Answer 15

y=f'(x-1)+f(1)

Answer 16

that's the equation
but need f(1)

Answer 17

oh sorry i'm not thinking just plug in 1 into f(x)
