I need help!!

OpenStudy (mtalhahassan2):

Given the function y=5x^2+7x a. Determine the equation of the slope of tangent at any point.

OpenStudy (mtalhahassan2):

what they mean by at any point?

OpenStudy (freckles):

This is just asking you to find the derivative.

OpenStudy (mtalhahassan2):

@freckles are you sure?

OpenStudy (freckles):

I'm sure that the derivative function is the slope of the tangent line at any point yes

OpenStudy (freckles):

yep derivative=slope of tangent line

OpenStudy (freckles):

for example f(x)=x^2 then f'(x)=2x 2x is the slope of the tangent line at point (x,f(x))

OpenStudy (freckles):

you just need a few rules to differentiate the function you have such as sum rule, power rule, constant multiple rule...

OpenStudy (freckles):

not sure if you need more help or not... I'm going to go to sleep though

OpenStudy (mtalhahassan2):

then the derivative of the given equation be 10x+7

@ParthKohli @kropot72

OpenStudy (kropot72):

"then the derivative of the given equation be 10x+7" Yes, you are correct.

OpenStudy (mtalhahassan2):

but @kropot72 are you agree with @Photon336

OpenStudy (kropot72):

"but @kropot72 are you agree with @Photon336 " What does @Photon336 have to say? It does not appear on this thread.

OpenStudy (mtalhahassan2):

sorry i mean are you agree with @freckles

OpenStudy (kropot72):

Yes, I agree with @freckles.
