Question
In Exercises 53 58, use a graphing utility to (a) graph the function on the given interval, (b) find and graph the secant line through points on the graph of at the endpoints of the given interval, and (c) find and graph any tangent lines to the graph of that are parallel to the secant line. fx x, 1, 9
Solution
The first step in solving 4.2 problem number 55 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: In Exercises 53 58, use a graphing utility to (a) graph the function on the given interval, (b) find and graph the secant line through points on the graph of at the endpoints of the given interval, and (c) find and graph any tangent lines to the graph of that are parallel to the secant line. fx x, 1, 9
From the textbook chapter Rolles Theorem and the Mean Value Theorem you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
