what 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).
