tangent of f(x)=x^3-6x,\at x=2

tangent of

f (x) = x^{3} - 6 x, at x = 2

y = 6 x - 16

Solution steps

Find the tangent point:

(2, - 4)

Find the slope of

f (x) = x^{3} - 6 x : \frac{df ( x )}{d x} = 3 x^{2} - 6

EN : T i tl e G e n er a l Eq u a t i o n Sl o p e A t P o in t 2 Eq : m = 6

Find the line with slope m=

6

and passing through

(2, - 4) : y = 6 x - 16

y = 6 x - 16
