Compute secant slopes of f(x) through A (-1,3,872985334620742) f(x) = V16 – x2 approximate the instantaneous slope at: A : (-1, v15) secant slope from the left: secant slope from the right: f(x) Ay Ay f(x) Ar Az -1.5 3.708099 0.3298 -0.5 -1.05 3.8597 -0.95 -1.005 3.8717 -0.995 Notes: • Your answers must be given as decimal approximations. • When completing the table, make sure your answers are accurate to at least 4 decimal places. • Be careful when computing the slope, you may need more than 4 decimal places for the y-coordinate in order for the slope to achieve the required accuracy. Estimate the instantaneous slope of f(x) at A Using your computations above, estimate the instantaneous slope of f(x) at (-1, v15): Compute secant slopes of f(x) through A (-1,3,872985334620742) f(x) = V16 – x2 approximate the instantaneous slope at: A : (-1, v15) secant slope from the left: secant slope from the right: f(x) Ay Ay f(x) Ar Az -1.5 3.708099 0.3298 -0.5 -1.05 3.8597 -0.95 -1.005 3.8717 -0.995 Notes: • Your answers must be given as decimal approximations. • When completing the table, make sure your answers are accurate to at least 4 decimal places. • Be careful when computing the slope, you may need more than 4 decimal places for the y-coordinate in order for the slope to achieve the required accuracy.
