TopicDifferentiation Applications
TypeFind tangent line equation

  1. \(\mathrm { f } ( x ) = a x ^ { 3 } + b x ^ { 2 } + 2 x - 5\), where \(a\) and \(b\) are constants The point \(P ( 1,4 )\) lies on the curve with equation \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\).
The tangent to \(y = \mathrm { f } ( x )\) at the point \(P\) has equation \(y = 12 x - 8\) Calculate the value of \(a\) and the value of \(b\).
