Find an equation of the line that is both tangent to the curve y - x^4 + 1 and parallel to the line 32x - y = 15.
Added by Jes-S F.
Step 1
We need to find the slope of the line parallel to 32x - y = 15. To do this, we can rewrite the equation in slope-intercept form (y = mx + b), where m is the slope. 32x - y = 15 y = 32x - 15 Now we can see that the slope of this line is 32. Show more…
