Tangent lines with zero slope

a. Graph the function f(x) = 4 − x2.

b. Identify the point (a, f(a)) at which the function has a tangent line with zero slope.

c. Consider the point (a, f(a)) found in part (b). Is it true that the secant line between (ah, f(ah)) and (a + h, f(a + h)) has slope zero for any value of h 0?
