Slide 2
A BRIEF PREVIEW OF CALCULUS: TANGENT
1.1 LINES AND THE LENGTH OF A CURVE
Secant Lines
The slope of a straight line is the change in y divided by
the change in x.

The line through two points on a curve is called a secant


line.

A BRIEF PREVIEW OF CALCULUS: TANGENT
1.1 LINES AND THE LENGTH OF A CURVE
Slope at a Point
So, what do we mean by the slope of a curve at a point?
The answer can be visualized by graphically
zooming in on the specified
point.

Continuing in this way, we obtain


successively better estimates of
the slope.

EXAMPLE 1.2 Estimating the Slope of a Curve.
Estimate the slope of y = sin x at x = 0.

1.1 LINES AND THE LENGTH OF A CURVE
EXAMPLE 1.2 Estimating the Slope of a Curve.

Solution

A good estimate of the slope


of the curve at the point
(0, 0) would appear to be 1.

Arc Length of a Curve
A second problem requiring the power of calculus is that of
computing distance along a curved path (the curve’s arc
length).
