Description
|
|
|
•
|
The FunctionSlopePlot(f, pt) command displays a plot that demonstrates the estimation of a tangent line using successive secant approximations.
|
|
•
|
The optional parameters opts specify the desired options for the resulting plot. The available options are:
|
|
|
Specifies whether to animate the plot.
|
|
|
Specifies the plot options for f.
|
|
|
Specifies the plot options for the tangent line.
|
|
|
Specifies the plot options for the point pt.
|
|
|
Specifies the plot options for the secant lines.
|
|
|
Specifies the plot options for the point at which the secant meets f.
|
|
|
The default caption is constructed from the parameters and the command options. caption = "" disables the default caption. For more information about specifying a caption , see plot/typesetting.
