Question #2577a

Let #(x_1,y_1)=(0,1)#.

#y=(1+2x)^{10}#

By Chain Rule,

#y'=10(1+2x)^9cdot(2)=20(1+2x)^9#

So, the slope #m# of the tangent line can be found by

#m=y'(0)=20[1+2(0)]^9=20#

By Point-Slope Form #y-y_1=m(x-x_1)#,

#y-1=20(x-0)#

by adding #1#,

#Rightarrow y=20x+1#

I hope that this was helpful.
