Find the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the function at the given point x = A
William S.
For each function, find (a) the equation of the secant line through the points where $x$ has the given values, and $(b)$ the equation of the tangent line when $x$ has the first value. $$ f(x)=x^{2}+2 x ; \quad x=3, \quad x=5 $$
