Equation of tangent at x=1) is y= -pi(x-1)

Explanation:

y=sin 2(pi x 3/6)=sin (pi x ) . At x=1

y(1)= sin pi =0 :. The point is (1,0)

y=sin(pi x):. Derivative y'= pi cos( pi x)

At x=1 the slope is m=y'= pi cos (pi) = -pi

So equation of tangent at point (1,0) in point slope form is

y-0= m(x-1) or y= -pi(x-1)
