Equation of line tangent can be formed by where m is the slope and and represent the x-coordinate and y-coordinate of the point of intersection of f(x) and tangent. We know that slope of line tangent to y=f(x) is . So, to do this question, we have to find f'(x) first. When x=3, the slope of line tangent (m)=f'(3) and the y-coordinate of this point is f(3) We get all the information we need and we can plug them into the equation. Equation of line tangent at x=3:
