f(x) = −6x2 + 2x

OpenStudy (lanhikari22):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Use the four-step process to find the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the given function at any point.

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Why not find the first derivative and just be done?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

That's just what it asked for. Each step

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

In my mind, there is only one. Find the 1st derivative. Done.

OpenStudy (tkhunny):

Maybe we're supposed to go shopping before and after? No, that's still only 3 steps.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

let x=c be any point on the graph. Then \[f \prime(c)=\lim_{x \rightarrow c}\frac{ f(x)-f(c) }{ x-c }\]

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):

set a different quotient

OpenStudy (xapproachesinfinity):
