Find the equation of the tangent line to the curve `y=x^2+4x-16` which is parallel to the line `3x-y+1=0.`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`3 x-y+1=0`
`frac{d}{d x}(3 x)-frac{d y}{d x}+frac{d}{d x}(1)=0`
`frac{d y}{d x}=3`
`y=x^{2}+4 x-16`
`frac{d y}{d x}=2 x+4`
`text { Hence }`
`2 x+4=3`
`x=frac{3-4}{2}=frac{-1}{2}`
