A. Prayer
Let’s all bow our heads and feel the holy presence of
our dear Lord as we start our class.
Ms. Abegail, please lead our prayer.
B. Greetings
Good day class!
How are you feeling today? Are you ready for our
topic today?
I am glad that all of you are happy on this day.
C. Checking of Attendance
Is everybody present today?
D. Review
E. Motivation
WHAT IS YOUR IDEA?
Are your familiar with the word “tangent
line”? What did you know about a
tangent line, or where did you first hear
about a tangent? Kindly write your idea
on the board. One idea is equivalent to
one badge.
Possible answers:
a. line which touches the graph at
only one point
b. line touching a circle at one point
c. trigonometric function tangent
(and cotangent) (from some
dictionaries) touching but not
intersecting (cutting through)
d. right beside
e. limiting position of a secant line
f. tangent comes from the Latin
word tángere meaning “to touch”
(cf. Noli me Tángere)

HOW TO DRAW TANGENT LINES TO CURVES
AT A POINT
One more
way to see this is to choose the line through a point that
locally looks most like the curve. Among all the lines
through a point (c , f ( c ) ) the one which best approximates
the curve y=f ( x ) near the point (c , f ( c ) ) is the tangent
line to the curve at that point.
We now
construct the tangent line to y=f ( x ) at P.
Choose a point Q on the right side of P, and connect the
two points to construct the secant line PQ .
Choose another point Q 1 in between P and Q. Connect the
two points P and Q 1 to construct the secant line P Q 1 .
Choose another point Q 2 in between P and Q 1.
Construct the secant line P Q 2.
Consider
also the case when Q is to the left of P and perform the
same process. Intuitively, we can define the tangent line
through P to be the limiting position of the secant lines
PQas the point Q (whether to the left or right of P)
approaches P.
Definition
Let C be the graph of a continuous function y=f (x ) and
let P be a point on C.
1. A secant line to y=f ( x ) through P is any line
connecting P and another point Q on C.
2. The tangent line to y=f ( x )at P is the limiting
position of all secant lines PQ as Q → P .

The equation of the tangent line with the slope m=4 and
passing through P (2,4) is
y−4=4 ( x −2 )∨ y=4 x−4
Recall that a horizontal line has zero slope. Since the slope
of the tangent line is 0, it must be horizontal. Its equation
is
y− (−11)=0 ( x−2 )∨ y=−11
C. Abstraction
Let us now summarize what we have learned in this lesson.
What have you learned from our discussion today?

graph of y=f (x ) at the point P(x 0 , y 0)?
