Tangent Lines

Today in Mathland we learned about Tangent Lines and how to find their slopes! Finding the slope is simple, but not easy. There is a formula you must memorize. It's f(x+h)-f(x) all over h. First, you. It's plug the values into your formula. Then you foil. Then you combine like terms. After that, you plug in 0 for your h. Then you just solve. There is an example below. This lesson isn't to tough, just keep track of your terms.
