Question:

a. Given the graph of f in the following figures, find the slope of the secant line that passes through (0, 0) and (h, f (h)) in terms of h, for h > 0 and h < 0.

b. Analyze the limit of the slope of the secant line found in part (a) As h → 0+ and  h → 0-. What does this tell you about the line tangent to the curve at (0, 0)?

f(x) = x2/3

УА У 323 y = T (h, h3) (0, 0) х
