The line y = mx - 1/4 is tangent to f(x) when x = -4. (d) Write down whether the value of m is positive or negative. Justify your answer.
Added by George G.
Step 1
We are given a line \(y = mx - \frac{1}{4}\) that is tangent to a function \(f(x)\) at \(x = -4\). We need to determine whether the slope \(m\) of this tangent line is positive or negative. Show more…

Consider the function f(x) = 4/x^3. Use a derivative to find the equation of the tangent line for this function at the point where x = 2. Use point-slope form to represent the tangent line: y - y1 = m(x - x1). Then find the slope of this line and a point (x1, y1) on this line.
