    If f(x) = 6sin(x2)+3, where x is measured in radians, then what is the slope of f(x) at x = 3?

    Find the derivative of f(x) ( which is the slope) then substitute 3 in for x (this will give you the value when x=3

    I presume the angle is x-squared (ie x^2). Use Chain Rule to differentiate. First derivative is (2x)(6)cos(x^2). As said, substitute for x.
