28 lis 2020 · The expression f(x 0 +h)−f(x 0) is used to describe what distance in the process of finding the slope of a tangent line? When calculating the slope of a tangent, what value is assumed to go to 0 as the two chosen points get closer and closer? What does the concept of limit, discussed in prior lessons, have to do with finding the slope of a ...
Find the equation of the tangent line to a function at a given point or the intercept step-by-step. Use the graphing calculator, geometry tools and AI explanations to solve your problems.
Computes the slope of the tangent line to the graph of a specified function at a specified input.
Learn how to find the slope and equation of the tangent line to a curve at a given point using calculus and limits. See examples, exercises and definitions of tangent line and derivative.
The slope of the tangent line can be found using the function's derivative: Plug in -2 for x, then write an equation for the tangent line: , so. Here is another comparison: (plot(3/x, x, -3, 0)+plot(-3*x/4-3, -3, 0, rgbcolor='red')+point((-2, -3/2), \.
16 lis 2022 · Below is a graph of the function, the tangent line and the secant line that connects \ (P\) and \ (Q\). We can see from this graph that the secant and tangent lines are somewhat similar and so the slope of the secant line should be somewhat close to the actual slope of the tangent line.
