tangent of f(x) = 4/(x-3) at x=6
Added by Euniz P.
Step 1
The derivative of a function gives us the slope of the tangent line at any point. Using the power rule for differentiation, we can rewrite the function as f(x) = 4*(x-3)^-1 and then differentiate: f'(x) = -4*(x-3)^-2 Now, we substitute x = 6 into the Show more…
