25) and (2, 36). We can use these points to form two equations. For the first point (0, 2.25), we have: 2.25 = p(0)^2 + q Simplifying this equation, we get: 2.25 = q For the second point (2, 36), we have: 36 = p(2)^2 + q Simplifying this equation, we get: 36 = Show more…

The point P (0.5,0) lies on the curve y = cos πx. If Q is the point (x, cos πx), use your calculator to find the slope of the secant line PQ (correct to six decimal places) for the following values of x: ii. 0.4 iii. 0.49 iv. 0.499 vi. 0.6 vii. 0.51 viii. 0.501 b. Using the results of part (a), guess the value of the slope of the tangent line to the curve at P (0.5,0). c. Using the slope from part (b), find an equation of the tangent line to the curve at P (0.5,0). d. Sketch the curve, two of the secant lines, and the tangent line.

The point P(4, 4) lies on the curve y = ∑x + 2. If Q is the point (x, ∑x + 2), find the slope of the secant line PQ for the following values of x. If x = 4.1, the slope of PQ is: and if x = 4.01, the slope of PQ is: and if x = 3.9, the slope of PQ is: and if x = 3.99, the slope of PQ is: Based on the above results, guess the slope of the tangent line to the curve at P(4, 4).

The point P(3, 18) lies on the curve y = x^2 + x + 6. If Q is the point (x, x^2 + x + 6), find the slope of the secant line PQ for the following values of x. If x = 3.1, the slope of PQ is: and if x = 3.01, the slope of PQ is: and if x = 2.9, the slope of PQ is: and if x = 2.99, the slope of PQ is: Based on the above results, guess the slope of the tangent line to the curve at P(3, 18).
