Find the equation of the tangent to the curve  `y=x(3x+2)^2`  at the point `(1,25)`.   (3 marks)

--- 6 WORK AREA LINES (style=lined) ---

Show Answers Only

`y=55x-30`

Show Worked Solution
`y` `=x(3x+2)^2`  
`dy/dx` `=6x(3x+2) + (3x+2)^2`  
  `=(3x+2)(9x+2)`  

 
`text{At}\ x=1\ \ =>\ \ dy/dx=(3(1)+2)(9(1)+2)=55`
 

`text{Find equation of line}\ \ m=55,\ text{through}\ (1,25)`

`y-y_1` `=m(x-x_1)`  
`y-25` `=55(x-1)`  
`y` `=55x-30`
