Question 401498: How do you compute the derivative of a given function and find the slope of the line that is tangent to its graph for the specified value of the independent variable.
f(x)=4;x=0 or f(x)=5x-3;x=2 Answer by richard1234(7193) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The derivative of f(x) = 4 is zero at all points since the derivative of a constant function is 0. Therefore a tangent line would also have a slope of 0. Also, the derivative of f(x) = 5x-3 is 5, so the slope of the tangent line is 5.
