Finally, we check that the point satisfies the equation . Substituting and into the equation gives , which simplifies to . So the point does satisfy the equation, and our solution is correct.
Steps
Step 1 :First, we need to find the derivative of the function . The derivative of a function at a certain point gives the slope of the tangent line at that point.
Step 2 :The derivative of is .
Step 3 :Now we substitute into to find the slope of the tangent line at the point .
Step 4 :Substituting into gives . So the slope of the tangent line at the point is 24.
Step 5 :Now we use the point-slope form of the equation of a line, which is , where is a point on the line and is the slope of the line.
Step 6 :Substituting and into the equation gives .
Step 7 :Simplifying the equation gives .
Step 8 :Subtracting 16 from both sides of the equation gives .
Step 9 :So the equation of the line tangent to the graph of at the point is .
Step 10 :Finally, we check that the point satisfies the equation . Substituting and into the equation gives , which simplifies to . So the point does satisfy the equation, and our solution is correct.
