Estimate the derivative at each of the indicated points. Point A. Draw in the tangent line to the curve at A Estimate the slope (derivative) using the grid lines. Point A. It appears to go up about 2 units and right about 3 units Thus we estimate:
E N D
Point A • Draw in the tangent line to the curve at A • Estimate the slope (derivative) using the grid lines
Point A • It appears to go up about 2 units and right about 3 units • Thus we estimate: • Note: it looks like the value of point A is 1, so we could say
Point B • About 2 unit down for every 5 units right • Or
Point C • About four units down and three units right • Or
Point D • A little bit more than one unit down and one unit right • Or
Point E • About five units up and three units right • Or
Point F • Completely horizontal • Or
