A. TANGENT LINES and RATES OF CHANGE
A tangent line to the function f(x) at the point x =a is a line that just touches the graph of the function at
the point in question and is “parallel” (in some way) to the graph at that point. Take a look at the graph
below.
In this graph the line is a tangent line at the indicated point because it just touches the graph at that
point and is also “parallel” to the graph at that point.
Secant Line - the point where the line isn’t a tangent line

SLOPE: slope between P and Q using the “general” form of

Pick some values of x getting closer and closer to x= 1, plug in and get some slopes.
Rates of Change
What we want to do here is determine just how fast f(x) is changing at some point, say x= a . This
is called the instantaneous rate of change or sometimes just rate of change of f(x )at x=a.

Velocity Problem
To compute the instantaneous velocity of the object we just need to recall that the velocity is nothing
more than the rate at which the position is changing.
and then take values of t closer and closer to ta = and use these values to estimate the instantaneous
velocity.
Change of Notation
First determine how far from x = a we want to move and then define our new point based on that
decision. So, if we want to move a distance of h from x= a the new point would be x = a+ h . This
is shown in the sketch below.
If h>0 we will get value of x that are to the right of x= a and if h< 0 we will get values of x that are to
the left of x = a and both are given by x = a + h
Getting a second value of x, (1) will become,
For a specific value of x, i.e. x = a and we’ll rarely be looking at these at specific values of x. So, we
take the final step in the above equation and replace the a with x to get,
The LIMIT of a function- in this notation we will note that we always give the function that were working
with and we also give the value of x or t that we are moving in towards.

So Limit is ,
