3-1: The Tangent Line Important Idea Example Important Idea Analysis Analysis Example Example Try This Example A rock is dropped from a height of 576 ft. and freefalls to the ground. In t seconds, the rock drops a distance s: How many seconds after release does the rock hit the ground? What is the average velocity of the rock during the first 3 seconds that it is falling? What is the instantaneous velocity 3 seconds after it is released? Objectives: Average speed vs. Instantaneous speed Explore the tangent line problem ?2002 Roy L. Gover (roygover@att.net) The average speed over a time period is the slope of the line connecting the beginning and end of the time period. time in hours distance in miles 0 5 120 Average speed is 24 mph measured over 5 hours The instantaneous velocity at a point, or any other rate of change, is the slope of the tangent line at the point Analysis Analysis As , the slope of the secant line?the slope of the tangent line at x Analysis As , the slope of the secant line?the slope of the tangent line at x Analysis As , the slope of the secant line?the slope of the tangent line at x is very, very close to 0 Slope of secant line: AP Exam: instead of The slope of the secant line becomes the slope of the tangent line: Find the slope of the line tangent to the following graph at the point (2,1): Why did we not use the point (2,1) in the solution? Find the slope of the line tangent to the following graph at the point (3,2): m=12 Find the slope of the line tangent to the following graph at the point (1,1): Hint: rationalize the numerator
