y' = 3x2 - 6x + 5
Minimum at x = 1, complete square and put into vertex form
Slope = 2 at (1, 3)
Use point-slope form to determine equation.

asked 06/10/21Want to Find an equation of the tangent line to the curve 𝑦 = 𝑥 3 − 3𝑥 2 + 5𝑥 , 0 ≤ 𝑥 ≤ 3 that has the least slope.
Given Hint: This is a little bit tricky but consider the first derivative of the function as the equation of the slope as a function of 𝑥 . Finding the point in the curve with the least slope means that one must take the derivative of the slope function and proceed as he/she would solve for critical the point(s).
