For Exercises 79-82, assume that the Earth is approximately spherical with radius 3960 mi . Approximate the distances to the nearest mile. (See Example 8) Barrow, Alaska 71.3 ° N , 156.8 ° W and Kailua, Hawaii 19.7 ° N , 156.1 ° W have approximately the same longitude, which means that they are roughly due north-south of each other. Use the difference in latitude to approximate the distance between the cities.

1. Let f(x) = x² - 2x + 1.
(a) Find the slope of the graph of y = f (x) at the point P = (0,1) by directly
evaluating the limit:
f'(0) = lim (
f(Ax) - f(0)
Ax
Ax→0
(b) Find the equation of the tangent line 1 to the graph of ƒ at P.
What are the x and y intercepts of 1 ?
(c) Find the equation of the line, n, through P that is perpendicular to the tangent line l.
(Line n is called the normal line to the graph of f at P.)
(d) Sketch a careful graph that displays: the graph of y = f (x), its vertex point, its
tangent and normal lines at point P, and the x and y intercepts of these lines.
Bonus: Find the coordinates of the second point, Q, (QP), at which the normal
line n intersects the graph of f.
