Question:
G is the point with coordinates (4, 16) on the curve with equation y = x2.
a. Find the gradients of the chords joining the point G to the points with coordinates:
i. (5, 25)
ii. (4.5, 20.25)
iii. (4.1, 16.81)
iv. (4.01, 16.0801)
v. (4 + h, (4 + h)2)
b. What do you deduce about the gradient of the tangent at the point (4, 16)?
