MTH 31 (2) Draw the graph of the curve y- (a) Using a calculator, find the slopes (m) of secants passing through P = (1,1) and the points given by the given values. 0.5 0.75 1.25 0.9 1.1 0.99 1.01 (b) Do you see a pattern to these various slopes? What number do these slopes tend to? (c) Draw these various secants in your graph above. What line do these secants tend to? (a) We have used the phrase "tend to" in the above two questions. Explain what they mean in your own words
