Q: Find an equation of the tangent line to the curve at the given point.
y = (8)(x^2) - 9(sqrt(x)) at the point (1/4, -4)
y = (8)(x^2) - 9(sqrt(x)) at the point (1/4, -4)
-
find the derivative of the equation then plug in 1/4 and that will give u the slope
once u got the slop u can just do slope intercept form
y-y1 = m(x-x1)
u already have x1 and y1 u just need m and u find m by finding the derivative of that equation
