I need help with the bullet point of 'Sketch the graph of f(x)=x2−2...' up until the area approximation. Thank you!

### Calculus Exercise: Tangents, Approximations, and Integrals

For this process, we'll use the function \( f(x) = x^2 - 2 \).

1. **Interval and Tangent Line Calculations:**
   - For \( a = 2 \), and the interval \([2, 3]\), find each of the following without actually calculating the equation of the tangent line. Explain how you do so, and illustrate them on your graph (using screenshot annotation tools, for example, or some other method). Zoom in enough to make sure each quantity is shown clearly!
     - \( \Delta x \)
     - \( dx \)
     - \( \Delta y \)
     - \( dy \)

2. **Tangent and Secant Lines:**
   - Now, find the equation of the tangent line at \( a = 2 \), and the equation of the secant line for the interval \([2, 3]\). Add these two lines to your graph, and illustrate the quantities \( \Delta x \), \( dx \), \( \Delta y \), \( dy \) again. Explain the relationships between these quantities and the tangent line and the secant line.

3. **Newton’s Method and Zero Finding:**
    - For the same function, without calculating anything, sketch an illustration of the Newton’s Method process for finding the \( x_1 \) and \( x_2 \) approximations of the zero of the function, using the seed value \( x_0 = 2 \). 
    - (Draw in the lines that would produce the next two approximations of the zero and explain how each line produces the next approximation).
    - Now use the Newton’s Method formula to find \( x_1 \) and \( x_2 \). How do they compare to your illustration?

4. **Verification and Technology Use:**
    - Because you already found the tangent line at \( x = 2 \) in an earlier problem, you can verify the \( x_1 \) value you got using the formula.
    - Find the zero using technology. How close was \( x_2 \) to the goal? Is this a useful way of approximating this value? Explain.

5. **Graph and Approximation Sketches:**
    - Sketch the graph of \( f(x) = x^2 - 2 \), with area shaded under the curve and above
