Important: The student package has been deprecated. Use the superseding command Student[Calculus1][Tangent] instead.

This routine generates a graph of the function defined by the expression f(x) and its tangent line at the point [a, f(a)].

The command with(student,showtangent) allows the use of the abbreviated form of this command.

$\mathrm{with}\left(\mathrm{student}\right)\:$

$\mathrm{showtangent}\left(x^2+5\,x=2\right)$
