John Wallis also invented a method of finding the tangent line, which we describe as follows: Given a graph y = f(x) passing through the point (h, k), the tangent line y = mx +b has the property that: • It passes through the point (h, k), . It is either below the curve for all other x values, or above the curve. Use this approach to find the tangent to the curve y = x² at the point where x = a.
