Find an equation of the tangent line to the curve at the given point. Y = √x, (4,2)
Added by Andrew W.
Step 1
To find the derivative of y = √x, we can use the power rule for differentiation. The power rule states that if we have a function of the form y = x^n, then the derivative is given by dy/dx = nx^(n-1). In this case, we have y = √x, which can also be written as y = Show more…
