Consider the function

a. Find f(-2).
b. Find f’(x).
c. Let T be the Tangent to the graph of the function f(x)
at the point (2, -12), find the gradient of T.
d. The line L passes through the point (2, -12) and is
perpendicular to T,
i. Find the gradient of L;
ii. Find the equation of line L.
 To find the gradient of T, derive the given
function which becomes the gradient
function of the Tangent Line T.

Therefore, the gradient of T is -24.

i. Find the gradient of L;
When two lines are perpendicular, the products of their
gradients must be -1.
ii. Find the equation of line L.
Given that the gradient of line L is
and using POINT-SLOPE form in finding the equation of a
line which

Equation of Line L.
 Power Rule:
 f(x) = axn
 f’x) = a(n)xn-1
 Sum and Difference Rule
 f(x) + g(x)
 f’(x) + g’(x)
 Point-Slope Form
