Tangent Slopes (CSCA Pattern) — Derivatives & Calculus (Mathematics) | Super CSCA

1 / 3

CSCA-Style Example

Slope of tangent to y = x² at x = 2

Two-step process: differentiate first, then plug in the x-value. CSCA always wants a specific number — not a function.

Step-by-step solution

y = x^{2}The function

y' = 2xPower rule

y'(2) = 2 \cdot 2 = 4✓ Slope = 4
