Student[Precalculus][FunctionSlopePlot] - plot successive secant line approximations to the tangent line
Calling Sequence
FunctionSlopePlot(f, pt, opts)
Parameters
f
-
algebraic expression in at most one variable
pt
constant or expression of the form name=constant, where name is the indeterminate in f
opts
(optional) equation(s) of the form option=value, where option is one animation, functionoptions, limitlineoptions, limitpointoptions, lineoptions and pointoptions; specify output options
Description
The FunctionSlopePlot(f, pt) command displays a plot that demonstrates the estimation of a tangent line using successive secant approximations.
The optional parameters opts specify the desired options for the resulting plot. The available options are:
animation = true/false
Specifies whether to animate the plot.
functionoptions = list
Specifies the plot options for f.
limitlineoptions = list
Specifies the plot options for the tangent line.
limitpointoptions = list
Specifies the plot options for the point pt.
lineoptions = list
Specifies the plot options for the secant lines.
pointoptions = list
Specifies the plot options for the point at which the secant meets f.
caption = anything
A caption for the plot.
The default caption is constructed from the parameters and the command options. caption = "" disables the default caption. For more information about specifying a caption , see plot/typesetting.
For information on including additional plot option(s), see the plot help page.
For information on how to change the default colors, see the Student [SetColors] help page.
