#5 Please

1. Graph the function h(x) = (x + 1)2 + 2. Plot the point (1, 2) on your graph.
2. Fill in the chart for each of the following: Let x = 1
Ax
2
1.5
1
.5
-.5
x+Ax
F(x+Ax)
3. Using different colors draw secant lines from (1,2) to each of the points
(х+Дх, F(x+Дх)).
4. Calculate the difference quotient for each of these secant lines. Insert the calculated values
in the last row of the chart in #2.
F(x + Ax) – F(x)
((х + Дх) — х)
5. What appears to be the limit as Ax->0?
6. As Ax->0, the graph becomes a tangent line and not a secant line. What is the difference
between these two types of lines?
7. Now use the general form for the difference quotient with our function
f(x)
x2 – 2x + 3 to simplify the formula:
f(x + Дх) — f(x)
f'(x) = lim
Дх--0
Дх
8. What do you notice about the original f(x) and f'(x)?
