Expert Solution
Step 1

The given equation of curve is y=4xx2+3                  (1)

Now differentiate the equation (1) w.r.t. 'x'by using quotient rule.

dydx=ddx4xx2+3=x2+34-4x2xx2+32=12-4x2x2+32     

 

Step 2

Find the slope of tangents at point 11,12,

dydx11,12=12-4112112+32=-47215376=-591922
