Math help pls i don’t understand how to solve this
1 answer:
<h3>Answer: y = x+1</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
f(x) = x^3 - 2x + 3
f ' (x) = 3x^2 - 2 ..... apply the power rule
f ' (1) = 3(1)^2 - 2 ... plug in x coordinate of given point
f ' (1) = 1
If x = 1 is plugged into the derivative function, then we get the output 1. This means the slope of the tangent line at (1,2) is m = 1. It's just a coincidence that the x input value is the same as the slope m value.
Now apply point slope form to find the equation of the tangent line
y - y1 = m(x - x1)
y - 2 = 1(x - 1)
y - 2 = x - 1
y = x - 1 + 2
y = x + 1 is the equation of the tangent line.
The graph is shown below. I used GeoGebra to make the graph.

Answer:
an equation of a line
Step-by-step explanation:
This is an equation of a line. Lets walk through it.
y=1/3x+2
This is to find out what the Y coordinate would be when X is plugged in. So, if x was 6, you would take 1/3 of 6 to get 2, and add 2. The y intercept would be 4, since y=1/3(6)+2, y=2+2, y=4
Y=1/3x+2
This is what the slope is. If the slope is negative (ie. -3/4) the greater the x intercept the lower the y will be. (so if I had x=4 for a slope of -3/4, that would be y=-3/4(4)+2, y=-3+2, y=-1) But if the slope is positive (ie. 1/3) the greater the x value the greater the y value as well. (see graph attached below for positive)
Y=1/3x+2
This is the Y intercept. (This is NOT the y coordinate. This is only the coordinate of y if x=0) This number tells you where the Y intercept is. If it adds, the y intercept is positive. If it subtracts, the y intercept is negative.
Sorry if these explainations dont make sense. But, here is the graph for y=1/3x+2
