In Exercises 1-4, decide whetlier ttie problem can be solved using precalculus, or whether calculus is required. If the prob- lem can be solved using precalculus, solve it. If the problem seems to require calculus, explain vour reasoning and use a graphical or numerical approach to estimate the solution.

Question
(a) Use the list feature of a graphing utility to graph the following. = 4.V - .V\V|(1 + 12. 1.5. 1.0.51) - V|(l) 1.5. 1.0.51 (.V- l) + v,(l) (b) (c) 10. la) (Note: If you cannot use lists on your graphing utMity, graph Vt four times using 2, 1.5. 1. and 0.5.) Give a written description of the graphs of v, relative to the graph of y,. Use the results in part (a) to estimate the slope of the tangent line to the graph of v, at ( I . .^), It you want to improve your approximation of the slope, how could you change the list in the formula for v,'.'
Solution
The first step in solving 1.1 problem number 9 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: (a) Use the list feature of a graphing utility to graph the following. = 4.V - .V\V|(1 + 12. 1.5. 1.0.51) - V|(l) 1.5. 1.0.51 (.V- l) + v,(l) (b) (c) 10. la) (Note: If you cannot use lists on your graphing utMity, graph Vt four times using 2, 1.5. 1. and 0.5.) Give a written description of the graphs of v, relative to the graph of y,. Use the results in part (a) to estimate the slope of the tangent line to the graph of v, at ( I . .^), It you want to improve your approximation of the slope, how could you change the list in the formula for v,'.'
From the textbook chapter A Preview of Calculus you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
