Answer:
Slope of the tangent line at x=-1
[tex](\frac{dy}{dx})_{x=-1} = e^{-5}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Explanation:-
Given function
y = f(x) = e ˣ⁻⁴ ...(i)
Differentiating equation (i) with respective to 'x' , we get
[tex]\frac{dy}{dx} = e^{x-4} \frac{d}{dx} (x-4)[/tex]
[tex]\frac{dy}{dx} = e^{x-4} (1)[/tex]
Slope of the tangent line
[tex](\frac{dy}{dx})_{x=-1} = e^{-1-4} = e^{-5}[/tex]
