Given information
Given function is
Step-by-step explanation
Step 1.
The given curve is
We need to find equations of the tangent line and normal line to this curve at the point
Let's differentiate this function applying The Product Rule
and The Constant Multiple Rule. Remember
Therefore,
We know that the slope of a tangent at any point is the derivative at that point, so the slope of a tangent at is
Hence, the equation of a tangent at a given point is
