Find the slope the tangent of line and graph at given point.
Answer to Problem 56RE
Slope of about
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Consider the following function
To draw graph the function
The following Maple commands will produce the graph of the function
Now, visually approximate the slope of the graph of the function
Because a tangent line approximates the slope of the graph at a point, the slope of the graph of
From the graph, the tangent line at (2,2) rises approximately two units for each eight-unit
change in
Because the tangent line at the point (2,2) has a slope of about
