PROBLEM: Given f(x)=4x - x2 + k & (1,3+k) on the graph of f.
(K=3)

a) Write your equation after substituting in the value of k. (K=3)

b) Calculate the function values, showing your calculations, then graph three secant lines

i. One thru P(1,f(1)) to P1(0.5,__)

ii. One thru P(1,f(1)) to P2(1.5,__)

iii. One thru P1 to P2                                                                                                                      

c) Find the slope of each of these three secant lines showing all calculations.                        

d) NO DERIVATIVES ALLOWED HERE! Use the results to estimate the slope
of the tangent line at (1,3+k).

e) How would you improve your approximation?

Please explain in order, thank you.

Prove that f(x) = (10x3 + 25x + 63) / (4x – 3) is O(x2) directly from the definition of big O. In lecture we did a big O proof for a similar rational function. To do your proof, bound the numerator from above by a simple function on x3 and bound the denominator from below by a simple function on x. That will allow you do bound f by a simple function on x2 . If you do your...

The graph of f(x)=−10x+e5sin(x)f(x)=−10x+e5sin⁡(x) is rotated counterclockwise about the origin through an acute angle θθ. What is the largest value of θθ for which the rotated graph is still the graph of a function? What about if the graph is rotated clockwise? To answer this question we need to find the maximal slope of y=f(x)y=f(x), which is  , and the minimal slope which is  . Thus the maximal acute angle through which the graph can be rotated counterclockwise is θ=θ= degrees. Thus...
