Question

Solve for m. Solve for the point on the graph for x=-1. Solve for equation of the tangent at x=-1.

Answer 1

First, let's calculate the derivative of y:

Now, for x = -1, we have:

So the slope of the tangent line when x = -1 is equal to m = -1.

Let's calculate the value of y when x = -1:

So the point on the graph for x = -1 is (-1, 5)
