Question 1

What is the formula for the slope of a secant line?

  • \\( \\frac{f(b) - f(a)}{b - a} \\)
  • \\( \\frac{f(a + h) - f(a)}{h} \\)
  • \\( f'(a) \\)

💡 Hint: Remember, it's about connecting two points.

Question 2

True or False: A tangent line can intersect a curve at multiple points.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Think about how tangent lines behave.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Sketch the graph of \( f(x) = 2x^2 - 3x + 1 \) and show both a secant line between \( x=0 \) and \( x=2 \) and a tangent line at \( x=1 \).

💡 Hint: Calculate points and slopes for both lines before drawing!

Question 2

For \( f(x) = x^3 - 2x + 1 \), determine the coordinates of the point on the curve where the tangent line has the same slope as the secant line from \( x=-1 \) to \( x=1 \).

💡 Hint: Start with the secant's slope first!
