Provide an appropriate response.Does the curve y = x3 + 4x - 10 have a tangent whose slope is -2? If so, find an equation for the line and the point of tangency. If not, why not?
What will be an ideal response?
The curve has no tangent whose slope is -2. The derivative of the curve, y ' = 3x2 + 4, is always positive and thus never equals -2.
