Document Summary
Tangent: line that touches the graph at one point (tangent point: to determine the average rate of change corresponds to slope of secant. Instantaneous rate of change corresponds to slope of tangent choose a second point close to the given one and use the same formula. 2: difference quotient h cannot be 0. Step 1: write difference quotient for the given function. Step 2: expand and simplify (this is the slope of the secant) Step 1: determine a and h(the h value is the difference between the given points) Step 2: plug in a and h into the previous expression you just calculated (slope of secant) Step 1: make a chart 2 a-values for each point and the h values are 0. 01 and 0. 001. Step 2: use the slope of the secant and plug in the numbers. Step 3: average out the results to determine an approximate answer. Determine equation of the tangent at given t=
