Question:

Use a CAS to perform the following steps for the function.


a. Plot y = ƒ(x) over the interval (x0 - 1/2) ≤ x ≤ (x0 + 3).


b. Holding x0 fixed, the difference quotientimage


at x0 becomes a function of the step size h. Enter this function into your CAS workspace.


c. Find the limit of q as h→ 0.


d. Define the secant lines y = ƒ(x0) + q · (x - x0) for h = 3, 2, and 1. Graph them together with ƒ and the tangent line over the interval in part (a).image
