Solution
The first step in solving 3.3 problem number 81 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: 8188 require the following discussion of a secant line. The slope of the secant line containing the two points and on the graph of a function may be given as In calculus, this expression is called the difference quotient of (a) Express the slope of the secant line of each function in terms of x and h. Be sure to simplify your answer. (b) Find for 0.1, and 0.01 at What value does approach as h approaches 0? (c) Find the equation for the secant line at with (d) Use a graphing utility to graph f and the secant line found in part (c) on the same viewing window. msec = f1x + h2 - f1x21x + h2 - x = f1x + h2 - f1x2h h Z 0f1x2 = 2x + 5
From the textbook chapter Properties of Functions you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
