tangent of f(x)= 6/x ,\at x=1

tangent of

f (x) = \frac{6}{x}, at x = 1

y = - 6 x + 12

Solution steps

Find the tangent point:

(1, 6)

Find the slope of

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

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

(1, 6) : y = - 6 x + 12

y = - 6 x + 12
