Concept explainers
To approximate the slope of the curve at several different points.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Calculation:
To find the slope of the given function at required points do the following steps-
Step 1- Graph the equation
Step 2- Use the window
Step 3- ZOOM feature will show the following result.
Step 4- Finally use the TRACE feature to know its slope.
The following is the slope of the given function using the
Substituting the values
Since the function is exponential the slope can’t be found upon zooming also as it is only valid for linear functions.
