Question 534751: Find the equation for the tangent line to the curve y= f(x) where through the point (1, -3) where f(x)= x^8- 4x Answer by Alan3354(69443) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Find the equation for the tangent line to the curve y= f(x) where through the point (1, -3) where f(x)= x^8- 4x
---------------
f'(x) = 8x^7 - 4
f'(1) = 4 = slope
-------------
-3 = 4*1 + b
b = -7
--------------
y = 4x - 7
