To find: The method to approximate the tangent line at
(a)

Answer to Problem 75E
Take the points of the secant line very close to the point
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The secant line is the joining of two points on the curve and tangent line touches the curve at only one point.
To make the secant line to tangent line at
Therefore, Take the points of the secant line very close to the point
(b)
To find: The method of the exact slope of tangent line at
(b)

Answer to Problem 75E
The slope of the tangent line with the help of limit process is equal to
Explanation of Solution
Calculation:
The slope of the tangent line is the average rate of change of the values of function at two points very close to them.
Assume that the secant line that gets transformed into tangent line at
Now to change the secant line into tangent line, need to decrease the distance between the points i.e. need to decrease the value of
Therefore, the slope of the tangent line with the help of limit process is equal to

Can you write it (numerical method)arrow_forwardThere are three options for investing $1150. The first earns 10% compounded annually, the second earns 10% compounded quarterly, and the third earns 10% compounded continuously. Find equations that model each investment growth and use a graphing utility to graph each model in the same viewing window over a 20-year period. Use the graph to determine which investment yields the highest return after 20 years. What are the differences in earnings among the three investment? STEP 1: The formula for compound interest is A = nt = P(1 + − − ) n², where n is the number of compoundings per year, t is the number of years, r is the interest rate, P is the principal, and A is the amount (balance) after t years. For continuous compounding, the formula reduces to A = Pert Find r and n for each model, and use these values to write A in terms of t for each case. Annual Model r=0.10 A = Y(t) = 1150 (1.10)* n = 1 Quarterly Model r = 0.10 n = 4 A = Q(t) = 1150(1.025) 4t Continuous Model r=0.10 A = C(t) =…arrow_forward
