tangent of f(x)=x^2-1,\at x=-1

tangent of

f (x) = x^{2} - 1, at x = - 1

y = - 2 x - 2

Solution steps

Find the tangent point:

(- 1, 0)

Find the slope of

f (x) = x^{2} - 1 : \frac{df ( x )}{d x} = 2 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, 0) : y = - 2 x - 2

y = - 2 x - 2
