Find an equation of the line tangent to each curve through the given point\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "1. y=x2-3x+7 (2,5)
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "Use ^ (Shift 6) for exponents.
\n" ); document.write( "It's a bad idea to include the problem #, 1. in this case.
\n" ); document.write( "Sometimes it is misconstrued as part of the problem.
\n" ); document.write( "---------------------
\n" ); document.write( "y=x^2-3x+7 (2,5)
\n" ); document.write( "y' = 2x - 3
\n" ); document.write( "------------
\n" ); document.write( "At x = 2, y' = 1, the slope of the tangent line.
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "--> find an eqn of a line thru (2,5) with a slope of 1
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "y - 5 = 1*(x - 2)
\n" ); document.write( "And we're done.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
