Find the slope of the tangent to curve y = x³ – x + 1 at the point whose x-coordinate is 2.

Question

Find the slope of the tangent to curve y = x 3 – x + 1 at the point whose x-coordinate is 2.

Philoid · Accepted Answer

The given curve is y = x³ – x + 1

Then, the slope of the tangent

= 12 -1 = 11

Therefore, the slope of the tangent 11.
