Example Question #321 : Ap Calculus Bc
What is the slope of the tangent line to the function
when
The slope of the tangent line to a function at a point is the value of the derivative at that point. To calculate the derivative in this problem, the product rule is necessary. Recall that the product rule states that:
.
In this example,
Therefore,
, and
At x = 1, this dervative has the value
.
