We can calculate the gradient of a tangent to a curve by differentiating. In order to find the equation of a tangent, we: Differentiate the equation of the curve Substitute the \(x\) value into ...

The tangent will have an equation in the form \(y = mx + c\) so to find the equation you need to find the values of \(m\) and \(c\). First, find \(m\), the gradient of the tangent.
