1. Let $y = f(x) = 2x^2 + 1$.
a) Sketch the graph of $f$ as accurately as possible.
b) Calculate the slope of the secant line to the graph of $f$ over the interval $[2, 2.5]$. Draw this secant
line on your graph.
c) Draw the tangent line at $(2, 9)$.
d) Estimate the slope of this tangent line.
e) For a small, positive number $h$, find a formula that gives the slope of the secant line passing through
$(2, 9)$ and $(2 + h, f(2 + h))$. Draw a typical secant line on your graph for an arbitrary $h$ as above.
f) By using a limit process and the formula found in part e), find the exact slope of the tangent line
at $(2, 9)$.
