Tofind:The correct choice for an equation of the tangent line to
Answer to Problem 3QQ
The correct choice is (B) such that the equation of the tangent line to
Explanation of Solution
Given information:The curve is
The formula for slope of a curve
Substitute
Substitute
Substitute the values of
Further simplify.
So, the slope of the tangent line is
The point of tangency to the curve
The equation of the line passing through
Substitute 2 for
Therefore, the correct choice is (B) such that the equation of the tangent line to
