asked 02/16/23what the anwser
he point P(0.2,10)�(0.2,10) lies on the curve y=2/x�=2/� . Let Q� be the point (x,2/x).(�,2/�).
a.) Find the slope of the secant line PQ�� for the following values of x�.
If x=0.3�=0.3, the slope of PQ�� is:
If x=0.21�=0.21, the slope of PQ�� is:
If x=0.1�=0.1, the slope of PQ�� is:
If x=0.19�=0.19, the slope of PQ�� is:
b.) Based on the above results, guess the slope of the tangent line to the curve at P(0.2,10)�(0.2,10).
