Question 1019792: Need help with this Calculus problem please.

Find an equation for the line tangent to the curve when x has the first value.
y=3√x
x=4
x=9

If , then the derivative is the function
==> when x = 4, , which is the slope of the line tangent at the point (4,6) of the curve.
==>
<==> 4y - 24 = 3x - 12
<==> 3x - 4y +12 = 0 is the tangent line.
For x = 9, the procedure is the same.
