TypeFind tangent line equation

  1. The curve \(C\) has equation
$$y = ( 2 x - 3 ) ^ { 5 }$$ The point \(P\) lies on \(C\) and has coordinates \(( w , - 32 )\).
Find
  1. the value of \(w\),
  2. the equation of the tangent to \(C\) at the point \(P\) in the form \(y = m x + c\), where \(m\) and \(c\) are constants.
