Define what a tangent line is.
Think about how it relates to the curve.
What is the formula for the slope of the tangent?
Remember, derivatives measure change.
What is a tangent line?
Think about how it interacts with the curve.
True or False: The slope of a tangent line can be found using the first derivative of the function.
Recall what derivatives represent.
Consider the function 𝑦 = 2𝑥³ - 3𝑥². Find the equation of the tangent line at x = -1.
Evaluate each step carefully and remember how to find a point on the curve!
What is the slope of the tangent line and equation at x = 0 for 𝑦 = 1/(𝑥² + 1)?
Ensure you know the correct derivative rules and apply them.
