Question

The point A(3, 9) lies on the curve
y=x²
40
If B is the point (x, x^2), find the slope of the secant line AB for the following values
of x. Use all decimal places in your response.
If x= 3.1, the slope of AB is:
A/
If x= 3.01, the slope of AB is:
A
If x= 2.9, the slope of AB is:
A/
If x= 2.99, the slope of AB is:
A/
Based on the above results, guess the slope of the tangent line to the curve at A(3,
9):
