A. For the function f(x)=-4x^2+8x+2 find msec=, the slope of the secant line between the values x1 and x2. (Round to 6 decimal places).

A. For the function f(x)=-4x^2+8x+2 find msec=, the slope of the secant line between the values x1 and x2. (Round to 6 decimal places).

a. x1=1 and x2=2, msec=

b. x1=1 and x2=1.1, msec=

c. x1=1 and x2=1.01, msec=

B. Use the answers from parts a,b,c to estimate mtan, the slope of the tangent line to f at point x=1. (The answer should be an interger). mtan=?

Here is a Desmos graph for you to take a look at. Use the slider on h to see different instances of the secant line. desmos.com/calculator/g0z0jb9qe9 Take a look, then add a comment indicating where you need some help understanding.
