Write the tangent line of an equation through a point

The video tutorial covers the product rule and its application in calculus. It begins with an introduction to the product rule and the importance of simplifying problems. The instructor demonstrates how to simplify a problem using the FOIL method and then applies the power rule to find the derivative. The tutorial explains how to find the equation of a tangent line at a specific point by calculating the slope using the derivative. The session concludes with finalizing and simplifying the tangent line equation, emphasizing the importance of accuracy in arithmetic calculations.
