We can calculate the gradient of a tangent to a curve by differentiating. In order to find the equation of a tangent, we: Differentiate the equation of the curve Substitute the \(x\) value into ...

2. Consider a tangent of the curve \ (y=17-2x^2\) that goes through the point \ ( (3,1)\text {.}\) Provide a diagram of this situation. Can you draw two tangent lines? Find the slopes of those tangent ...
