Why is the relation approximately? Explain and draw on the picture to explain the deviation in question. c) Draw two secant lines between x = 9 and x = 6.5 otherwise on the one hand and x = 9 and x = 7 on the other. What is the usefulness of these profiles when discussing the instantaneous rate of change (e. Instantaneous Rate of Change) of the function in x = 9?arrow_forward
