What is the equation of the tangent drawn to the curve y = x^3 - 2x + 1 at x = 2?

The equation of a two-dimensional non-vertical line can easily be determined if its gradient 'm' and a point on the line (x0, y0) is known, using the formula m = (y - y0) / (x - x0). The gradient of the t...

Why does the product rule for differentiating functions work?

Let k(x) = f(x)g(x) then k'(x) = limit as h --> 0 of: (h(x+h)-h(x))/h = lim (f(x+h)g(x+h) - f(x)g(x))/h

We can factorise the numerator as:
f(x+h)g(x+h) - f(x)g(x) =f(x+h)g(x+h) -g(x)...
