2 Motivation:Tangent Tangent derived from the Latin word, tangens, which means touching. Tangent line in a circle, intersect a circle only once Is it possible to identify this line, mathematically? Chapter 1:Lmits and Continuity 3 numerically? Given the parabola y = x2, find the tangent line to the parabola at a point P(1, 1). slope of PQ= x2 1 x 1 0 Q(x, x 2 ) P(1, 1) Required two points to compute the slope. x PQ Chapter 1:Lmits and Continuity 4
