Equation of Tangent Line Using Definition of Derivative. Here I find the equation of a tangent line by first using the definition of the derivative to find the slope of the tangent line.

  • PATRICK !!!!!! Man I don't know what I would do in my Business Calc class without your awesome help, my professor does a poor job of explaining material, I normally get it on my own but when I don't, I go to youtube and go to your channel thanks Patrick !!!!!!

  • @MultiSneaky1 happy that i can help : ) come back any time

  • Please, make a video on finding the normal to the curve! You are so helpful! Thank you!

  • @keetabirrd just use the slope that is perpendicular to the slope of the tangent line

  • why not use the power rule?

  • @EddieNaut cause then you are not using the definition.

  • what if the slope was given and not the point? how do you find the equation then?

  • @patrickJMT Thank you!
