CHA-3.F—Approximate a value on a curve using the equation of a tangent line
- CHA-3.F Approximate a value on a curve using the equation of a tangent line.
- CHA-3.F.1 The tangent line is the graph of a locally linear approximation of the function near the point of tangency.
- CHA-3.F.2 For a tangent line approximation, the function’s behavior near the point of tangency may determine whether a tangent line value is an underestimate or an overestimate of the corresponding function value.
- Enduring understanding CHA-3: Derivatives allow us to solve real-world problems involving rates of change.
