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
