Given the curve whose equation is Let P be the point (5,3). (a) Determine the slope of the secant line joining P to Q, if Q has as its x-coordinate: (i) 5.01 (ii) 5.001 (iii) 5.0001 (iv) 4.99 (v) 4.999 (vi) 4.9999. (b) What limiting value does the slope of the secant line appear to be approaching as Q approaches P?
