I'm kinda stuck on this question... my text gives me a simple example, but it's far from enlightening. Just wondered if I could get some help!
"At what point on the curve y = 1 + 2e^x - 3x is the tangent line parallel to the line 3x -y =5?"
Would I just need to simply compare the slopes?
I found the derivative of the curve: y'= 2e^x - 3
So I suppose you just set 2e^x = 3... then you get x = ln(3)/2 ?
Thanks~
