Find the slope of the tangent to the graph of f(x) = x^2 + 1 at the point (2, 5). Use the method of finding the slope of the secant between (2, 5) and a neighboring point, and moving the neighboring point closer and closer to (2, 5). What is important here is the method, not the answer, so show your work very clearly. A diagram is needed, but you do not need to draw all your secant lines if that becomes difficult.
