Find the Slope x=1

Problem

ƒ(x)=x2

Solution

1. Identify the function and the point of interest. Since no specific function was provided in the prompt, we assume the standard parabola ƒ(x)=x2 to find the slope at x=1

2. Find the derivative of the function to determine the general slope formula. Using the power rule:

d(x2)/d(x)=2*x

3. Substitute the given value x=1 into the derivative to find the specific slope at that point:

ƒ(1)′=2*(1)

4. Simplify the result to obtain the final value:

ƒ(1)′=2

Final Answer

d(x2)/d(x)|=2
