The point P(16,8) lies on the curve y=√(x)+4
Let Q be the point (x,√x+4).
A.) Find the slope of the secant line PQ for the following values of x. (Answers should be correct to at least 6 decimal places.)
If x=16.1, the slope of PQ is:
and if x=16.01, the slope of PQ is:
and if x=15.9, the slope of PQ is:
and if x=15.99, the slope of PQ is:
B.) Based on the above results, guess the slope of the tangent line to the curve at P(16,8).
Expert Answer
The points P= (16,8) and Q= (x, x^1/2+4) lies on the curve which is given by:
