To find the equation of the tangent: EITHER: y = mx + c y = 3x + c Substitute x = 0‚ y = -2: -2 = 3(0) + c i.e. c = -2. So equation is y = 3x - 2 OR: where m = 3 Substitute x = 0‚ y = -2: i.e. y = 3x - 2 Applications of Differentiation Recall: A turning point is a maximum if A turning point is a minimum if . Example: Find the equation of the normal to the curve at the point where x = 4. Solution: The curve can be written as Therefore‚ When x = 4‚ and
