tangent of f(x)=x^4-3x^2+5,\at x=-1

tangent of

f (x) = x^{4} - 3 x^{2} + 5, at x = - 1

y = 2 x + 5

Solution steps

Find the tangent point:

(- 1, 3)

Find the slope of

f (x) = x^{4} - 3 x^{2} + 5 : \frac{df ( x )}{d x} = 4 x^{3} - 6 x

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 = 2

Find the line with slope m=

2

and passing through

(- 1, 3) : y = 2 x + 5

y = 2 x + 5
