What is the equation of the tangent to the curve y=x^3+3x^2+2 when x=2

dy/dx=3x^2+6xx=2m=3(2)^2+6(2)=24at x=2 y=22(2,22)y-22=24(x-2)y-22=24x-48y=24x-26

Sketch y = 9x – 4x^3, showing where the curve crosses the x axis.


The polynomial f(x) is define by f(x) = 3x^3 + 2x^2 - 8x + 4. Evaluate f(2).


x = 3t - 4, y = 5 - (6/t), t > 0, find "dy/dx" in terms of t


differentiate y=e^2x
