Question 1194792: given the equation

a) Graph the function using a suitable scale and any
means at your disposal.
b) Draw the secants from the y-intercept to each of the
points on the curve ending at x = 2, 1, 0.5, 0.1, 0.01,
0.001.
c) Determine the equations of each of the secants
constructed in part b).
d) Determine the equation of the tangent at the
y-intercept in simplified form.
Determine the general equation of the secant from any
point (A,f(A)) to the point on where . Describe
how you would use this to find the equation of the tangent
at the point (2,f(2)).
