    The equation of the line tangent to the parabola y=x^2+4x at the point x=2 is y=8x-4. This is obtained by first finding the slope of the tangent line using the derivative, which is m=2x+4 and evaluates to m=8 at x=2. Then, the point of tangency (2,12) is substituted into the point-slope formula for a line, y-y1=m(x-x1), to arrive at the final equation y=8x-4.

    What is the equation of a

    line tangent to y=x +4x at


    2

    x=2?
    What is the equation of a line tangent
    to y=x2+4x at x=2?
    A. SLOPE
    y= x2+4x
    y’= 2x+4
    Since the slope is dependent to the derivative, m= 2x+4.
    m= 2x+4
    m= 2(2)+4
    m=8
    What is the equation of a line
    tangent to y=x2+4x at x=2?
    B. POINT OF TANGENCY (substitution)
    y= x2+4x
    Y=(2)2+4(2)
    y= 4+8
    Y= 12
    So, P(2,12) where x=2, y=12.
    What is the equation of a line tangent to y=xᶾ-1 at
    x=0.5?

    C. EQUATION OF THE TANGENT LINE


    Using the formula y=mx+b:
    y=mx+b y=mx+b
    12= 8(2)+b y=8x-4
    12=16+b
    12-16=b
    -4=b
