Expert Solution
Step 1: Formula

The equation of the tangent line is given by:

y minus y subscript 0 equals m open parentheses x minus x subscript 0 close parentheses

Where m equals y apostrophe subscript x equals x subscript 0 end subscript

fraction numerator d over denominator d x end fraction open parentheses x to the power of n close parentheses equals n x to the power of n minus 1 end exponent
fraction numerator d over denominator d x end fraction open parentheses x close parentheses equals 1
fraction numerator d over denominator d x end fraction open parentheses c close parentheses equals 0 comma space space space space space space space c minus c o n s tan t
