Determine the slope of the tangent to each curve at the given value of x
\n" ); document.write( "Find the 1st derivative:
\n" ); document.write( "===========================
\n" ); document.write( "y= \"x%5E2-x\",x=3
\n" ); document.write( "y' = 2x-1
\n" ); document.write( "m = 2*3 - 1 = 5
\n" ); document.write( "===============================
\n" ); document.write( "y= \"sqrt%28x-2%29\",x=3
\n" ); document.write( "y' = \"%28x-2%29%5E%28-1%2F2%29%2F2\"
\n" ); document.write( "m = 1/2
\n" ); document.write( "
