The point P(0.5, 0) lies on the curve y = cos πx.
(a) If Q is the point (x, cos πx), use your calculator to find the slope of the secant line PQ (.correct to six decimal places) for the following values of x:
(i) 0
(ii) 0.4
(iii) 0.49
(iv) 0.499
(v) 1
(vi) 0.6
(vii) 0.51
(viii) 0.501
(b) Using the result of part (a), guess the value of the slope of the tangent line to the curve at P(0.5, 0).
(c) Using the slope from part (b), find an equation of the tangent line to the curve at P(0.5, 0).
(d) Sketch the curve, two of the secant lines, and the tangent line.

Need Help? Read It Master Itarrow_forwardVelocity of a Ball Thrown into the Air The position function of an object moving along a straight line is given by s = f(t). The average velocity of the object over the time interval [a, b] is the average rate of change of f over [a, b]; its (instantaneous) velocity at t = a is the rate of change of f at a. A ball is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 128 ft/sec, so that its height (in feet) after t sec is given by s = f(t) = 128t - 16t². (a) What is the average velocity of the ball over the following time intervals? [3,4] [3, 3.5] [3, 3.1] ft/sec ft/sec ft/sec (b) What is the instantaneous velocity at time t = 3? ft/sec (c) What is the instantaneous velocity at time t = 7? ft/sec Is the ball rising or falling at this time? O rising falling (d) When will the ball hit the ground? t = sec Need Help? Read It Watch Itarrow_forward
