Find the slope of the tangent to the curve y = x³ –3x + 2 at the point whose x-coordinate is 3.

Question

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

Philoid · Accepted Answer

The given curve is y = x³ – 3x + 2

Then, the slope of the tangent

= 27 -3 = 24

Therefore, the slope of the tangent 24.
