Section 2.1 The Tangent and Velocity Problems

This document contains calculations and analysis related to tangent lines and velocity problems. It provides examples of calculating average velocity between two times points for different functions, as well as estimating the instantaneous velocity as the time interval approaches zero. It also discusses estimating the slope of a tangent line for an oscillating function as the x-value approaches the point of tangency.

(b) We see that problems with estimation are caused by the frequent
oscillations of the graph. The tangent is so steep at  that we need to
take -values much closer to 1 in order to get accurate estimates of
its slope.

(c) If we choose  = 1001, then the point  is (1001 −00314) and   ≈ −313794. If  = 0999, then  is

(0999 00314) and   = −314422. The average of these slopes is −314108. So we estimate that the slope of the

tangent line at  is about −314.
