Here is a
Geometer's Sketchpad video with audio (Larger
Version) of
me describing approximating the slope of a tangent line with a secant line.
Here is a
Quicktime Animation showing a secant line
approximating a tangent line.
Here is a
Winplot demonstration of a secant line that can be
used to approach a tangent line. You may need to download the file to your
desktop and then use the freeware
Winplot to open the file (by opening Winplot, clicking on Window,
clicking on 2-dim, clicking on File, clicking on Open, and then opening
SecantSlope from your desktop. You can use the sliders to vary the values
of A and H. The A-value gives you the x-value at a point on the graph of
the function you are looking at. The H-value gives you the x-value of
another point on the graph of the function you are looking at in terms of A + H
(so H is your delta x). The secant line through the points on the graph of
the given function with x-values of A and A + H is graphed and its slope
displayed at the top of the graph. The default function is f(x) = 3sin(x),
a function from trigonometry.
This function is named FN and you can edit the definition of FN by clicking on
Equa, choosing
User functions ... ,
highlighting the function and editing its definition. Changing the
definition to x^2 for example will produce a different graph.
| If it is not already on your hard drive, you will need to download
the free DPGraph Viewer to view some of
the pictures linked to on this web site. birth |
