Question
In Exercises $7-14,$ use the method in Example 3 to find (a) the slope of the curve at the given point $P,$ and $(\mathbf{b})$ an equation of the tangent line at $P .$$$y=2-x^{3}, \quad P(1,1)$$
Step 1
The derivative of a function gives us the slope of the tangent line at any point. The derivative of $2 - x^3$ is $-3x^2$. Show more…
