Another week has come by in Calc and I am enjoying my senior year while I can. This week we did a mini project on desmos, which expanded my knowledge on derivatives and for part of the week we finished our unit on limits. The assignment on desmos was one in which I did not understand until Mr. Cresswell began explaining the how to find the slope and tangent line. It was simply applying basic slope principles to find the equation of the line tangent to that equation.
So we started out with a parabolic function in which we were supposed to find the slope of the tangent line and we did this by finding secant lines which were really close to the tangent line as in example one of our video.

In the second example,we used sliders to move the tangent line around a fixated point.

Our third example was also about tangent line on a parabolic function and we used sliders to move the line around a fixated point.

Overall,after watching videos at home,I was able to master this concept and I am ready to attack the next obstacle in calculus which will be derative.
