Question
The function f is defined for all x∈ℝ. The line with equation y=6x-1 is the tangent to the graph of f at x=4.The function g is defined for all x∈ℝ where g(x)=x2-3x and h(x)=f(g(x)).Write down the value of f′(4).
Solution
Given that the line y = 6x - 1 is the tangent to the graph of f at x = 4, the slope of the tangent line at that point is the derivative of the function at that point. Therefore, f′(4) = 6.
