"The Dope on Slope"




Slope & Similar Items in Words & Symbols Grouped by Use
Secants
slope of the secant is average rate of change over the interval
difference quotient is average rate of change over the interval
slope of the secant is (y2) - y1)/ (x2 - x1)
slope of the secant is (f(b) - f(a))/ (b - a)
slope of the secant is (f(x+h) - f(x))/ h
 
Tangents
slope of the tangent is instantaneous rate of change
slope of the tangent is limit, as h goes to 0, of the slope of the secant
slope of the tangent is limit, as h goes to 0, of the difference quotient
 
slope of the tangent is m
slope of the normal is -1/m
the derivative is the slope of the tangent m, f'(c)
Derivatives
slope of the tangent at (c, f(c)) is m
slope of the tangent at (c, f(c)) is f'(c)
slope of the tangent is f'(c)
slope of the normal is -1/m
slope of the normal is -1/f'(c)
derivative of the function at (c, f(c))
slope of the function at (a,b)
Mean Value Theorem gsp - at some c on [a,b]. f'(c) = slope of secant through (b, f(b)) and (a, f(a))
