tangent of f(x)=x^2-6x+1,\at x=1

tangent of

f (x) = x^{2} - 6 x + 1, at x = 1

y = - 4 x

Solution steps

Find the tangent point:

(1, - 4)

Find the slope of

f (x) = x^{2} - 6 x + 1 : \frac{df ( x )}{d x} = 2 x - 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 = - 4

Find the line with slope m=

- 4

and passing through

(1, - 4) : y = - 4 x

y = - 4 x
