Find the equation of the normal line to the curve y = 3x^3 + 4x^2 - 5x + 1 at x = 1. Thank youuuu
-----
slope = 9x^2 + 8x - 5
f'(1) = 9 + 8 - 5 = 12
---------
slope of normal:: -1/12
---------
f(1) = 3 + 4 - 5 + 1 = 3
-----
Find linear equation with m = -1/12 passing thru (1,3)
-------
Form::
3 = (-1/12)1 + b
b = (37/12)
-----
Equation::
y = (-1/12)x + (37/12)
