2 Given the curve: x f(x) x+h f(x+h)

3 Given the equation a) Find the slope of a secant line through the given point

4 Given the equation b) Find the SLOPE of a tangent line through the given point From part a, At (4, 0), 2x – 4 = 2(4) – 4 = 4 c) Find the EQUATION of a tangent line through the given point From part b, we have the slope (4)….and we have the pt (4, 0) y – 0 = 4(x – 4) c) Find the value of x for which the slope of the tangent line is 0 2x – 4 = 0 x = 2

5 Given the equation a) Find the slope of a secant line through the given point

6 b) Find the SLOPE of a tangent line through the given point From part a, At (1, -1), c) Find the EQUATION of a tangent line through the given point From part b, we have the slope (1)….and we have the pt (1, -1) y + 1 = 1(x - 1) c) Find the value of x for which the slope of the tangent line is 0 Given the equation
