Tangent Lines
Given a function y=f(x), how do we find the equation of the tangent line at a point? Consider the graph of a function y = f(x) whose graph is given below. Let P(x , y ) be a point on the graph of y = f(x). Our objective is to find the equation of the tangent line (TL) to the graph at the point P(x , y ).
Since the tangent line is the limiting position of the secant lines as Q approaches P, it follows that the slope of the tangent line (TL) at the point P is the limit of the slopes of the secant lines PQ as x approaches x . In symbols,
Finally, since the tangent line passes through P(x , y ), then its equation is given by: )
