Question 1016272: sorry that this is in the wrong section...the question is... “Consider the graph y =x^3. Find the slope of the secant line between the points corresponding to x = -1.”
What does x = -1 mean? What do I do with x = -1? how do I find the slope of the secant line between the points corresponding to x = -1?
In order to find the slope of a secant line I have to have two points along the curve of a function?
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Mistake in the description which was given to you. y=x^3 is a function. No value of the domain is repeated. No value of the range either is repeated. Maybe recheck the actual description in case you misread it.
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Here is the graph of y = x^3
:
if x is -1, then y = -1 and the point is (-1, -1)
:
now chose a small increment to x, -1.1, then y = -1.331
:
slope = (-1.331 -(-1)) / (-1.1 -(-1)) = -0.331 / -0.1 = 3.31
