Assignment due Monday, September 23rd

Please answer the following for Monday:

For #1-3, estimate the slope of the tangent at x = 2 for the function using:
A.  a right-hand difference quotient with h= 0.1
B.  a left-hand difference quotient with h = 0.1
C.  a symmetric difference quotient with h = 0.05
D.  the exact value for the slope of the tangent at x = 2 by finding a limit as h--> 0 for:
      ( f(2 + h) - f(2) )/h


1.  y = x^2 - 6x
2.  y = x^4 - 8
3.  y =  1/(x - 4)



For #4-6, find an equation for the slope of the tangent at ANY x-value by taking a limit as h-->0 for:
       ( f(x + h) - f(x) ) /h
Then use this general formula to find the slope of the tangent at x = 0, 2, and 5.

4.  y = 2 - 4x^2
5.  y = 2x^3 - x^2
6.  y = sqrt(2x + 1)
