Step 1:
\The function is
and the tangent line is
.
Compare the tangent line with slope-intercept form of line equation
,
where
is the slope and
is the
-intercept.
Slope of the tangent line is
.
Step 2:
\The function is
.
Apply derivative on each side.
\
Slope of the tangent line is
.
Slope of the tangent line is
.


Step 3:
\Substitute the value of
in the function.
.
Equate
and
.

Substitute
in
.

Solution:
\The value of
is 3.
