Sec. 2.1 The Tangent and Velocity Problems Tangent Problems: •

What is the tangent line t to the curve y  f x  at a given point P ?

EX: Find the slopes of the secant lines to the parabola y  x 2 at the point P 1, 1 and:

1.1, 1.1 2

0.9, 0.9 2

4. What is the instantaneous velocity at t  2 ? From the example above, the average velocity over the interval t  2 to t  2  t is
