The absolute value takes the distance from zero, it doesn’t matter weather it is positive or negatively
Answer:
(a) f'(1)=-4
(b) y+4x-4=0
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Tangent Line of a Function</u>
Given f(x) a real differentiable function in x=a, the slope of the tangent line of the function in x=a is given by f'(x=a). Where f' is the first derivative of f.
We are given

The derivative is

(a) The slope of the tangent line at (1,0) is


(b) The equation of the tangent line can be found with the general formula of the line:

Where m is the slope and the point (xo,yo) belongs to the line. We have m=-4, xo=1, yo=0, thus

Or, equivalently

Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
For this exercise it is necessary to remember the following:
1) The Distributive Property states the following:

2) The multiplication of signs:

Knowing this, and having the following expression given in the exercise:

You can apply the Distributive property multiplying
and
, which are inside the parentheses, by
.
So, you get the following result:
