Homework Help: AP Calc-easy ?

Posted by blondie07 on Wednesday, March 7, 2007 at 5:13pm.

Given: f(x)= x^3 + x^2 - 2x over the closed interval [0,2]

Write the equation of the tangent line to f(x) passing through point A(-1,-2).

*At first glance I knew how to do it, but f(-1) does not equal -2...so do I add a constant onto f(x) to make f(-1) = -2 or what? thanks
