The Tangent Line to a Curve at a Point Closely

question 100

Multiple Choice

The tangent line to a curve at a point closely approximates the curve near the point. In fact, for x-values close enough to the point of tangency, the function and its tangent line are virtually indistinguishable. This problem explores this relationship. Write the equation of the tangent line to the curve at the indicated point. To check your answer, use a graphing utility to graph both the function and its tangent line, and repeatedly zoom in on the point of tangency until the function and the tangent line cannot be distinguished. ​ ​
