Question

find the slope of the secant line for the function f(x)=3x^2-2 passing thru the points (1,1) and (1.1,1.63)

Answer 1

The slope of the secant line is given by
\[slope=\frac{f(1.1)-f(1)}{1.1-1}=\frac{1.63-1}{1.1-1}=\cdots\]

Answer 2

so the slope is 6.3 right

Answer 3

yes

Answer 4

but the Prof. marked me wrong dont get it.

Answer 5

@shark no it is correct, slope of line is 6.3
is question posted correctly...did your teacher want slope of tangent line?

Answer 6

The slope of the secant line
