@jtug6
forget about the secant defination thing, plz jus check my method and solution...
@jim_thompson5910
Problem 6 looks good. You have shown that the two graphs cross at two different points, so the straight line cannot be a tangent. it must be a secant. I'm now looking at problem 7
i meant question number 7..
should the tangent point have both (x,y)???
Problem 7 looks good as well since you have found that a) the straight line crosses the curve at exactly one point and b) the slope of this line is 12 which roughly matches with the approximating secant line so both problem 6 and problem 7 are correct. Nice job
saying the "tangent point is 12" is incorrect though
saying "the tangent SLOPE is 12" is more correct
the point of tangency would be (5,-4) to get the -4, you'd plug in x = 5 into either equation to find y
but they're asking for the tangency point
oh ok ..gimee a second plz
