1 Answer

6 votes

Explanation:

f(x)=x^2-3

at x=-8 the value of the function is 61

y=61

the slope of the tangent to the function at the point

(-8,61) is diffentiating the function and substituting point in it after differentiation we get 2x

the slope of the tangent is 2×-8 that is -16

answer is -16
