Calling Sequence
TangentSecantTutor(f, a)
TangentSecantTutor(f, var=a)
Parameters
f
-
(optional) algebraic expression in one variable var
a
(optional) point
var
(optional) variable
Description
The TangentSecantTutor(f) command launches a tutor interface that shows how the secant line between a and a point b on the graph of a f approaches a tangent line, as b approaches a.
If f is not specified, TangentSecantTutor uses a default function.
If a is not specified, TangentSecantTutor uses a default point.
If var is not specified, TangentSecantTutor uses a default variable.
