For each slope below,
enter the value correct to four decimal places.
Let
f ( x ) = 5 ln ( x ) \displaystyle {f{{\left({x}\right)}}}={5}{\ln{{\left({x}\right)}}} f ( x ) = 5 ln ( x ) . Using the formula,
m = f ( x 2 ) − f ( x 1 ) x 2 − x 1 \displaystyle {m}=\frac{{{f{{\left({x}_{{{2}}}\right)}}}-{f{{\left({x}_{{{1}}}\right)}}}}}{{{x}_{{{2}}}-{x}_{{{1}}}}} m = x 2 − x 1 f ( x 2 ) − f ( x 1 ) , find the slope of the secant line on the graph of
f ( x ) \displaystyle {f{{\left({x}\right)}}} f ( x ) that connects the points
x 1 = 2 \displaystyle {x}_{{{1}}}={2} x 1 = 2 and ...
