[rigid horizon]

do you have any ideas on how you might do this?

[mossy hill]

idk them asking for the tangent line throws me off alot

would i need to fine the derivative first or use some rule?

[rigid horizon]

the slope of the tangent line = the derivative

[mossy hill]

Oh

[rigid horizon]

(that's sort of what the derivative means)

[mossy hill]

would it look like this?

[rigid horizon]

what's the derivative of x?

[mossy hill]

I dont know

[rigid horizon]

just d/dx x

[mossy hill]

was what i wrote wrong ?

[rigid horizon]

bear with me for a second

[mossy hill]

ok

[rigid horizon]

find
[\frac{d}{dx} x]
and, using the method you just used,
[\frac{d}{dx} \frac{x^2}{x}]

[lime heart]

Invariance

[mossy hill]

d/dx confuses me I dont really understand what your asking me to do

like how would i go about plluging that in ?

sorry

[rigid horizon]

that means the derivative

d/dx [something] means "the derivative of [something] with respect to x"

[mossy hill]

hold on
