The point
P(41,16) lies on the curve
y=x4. If
Q is the point
(x,x4), find the slope of the secant line
PQ for the following values of
x.
If
x=0.35, the slope of
PQ is:
and if
x=0.26, the slope of
PQ is:
and if
x=0.15, the slope of
PQ is:
and if
x=0.24, the slope of
PQ is:
Based on the above results, guess the slope of the tangent
line to the curve at
P(0.25,16).
