Question

Find the average rate of change of the given function over the interval [a, a+h] for h=1, 0.01, and 0.001. (Round answers to four decimal places.) Then estimate the slope of the tangent line to the graph of the function at a. f(x)=1x+1f(x)=\frac{1}{x+1}; a=0

We will use the following formula:

Average rate of change of f over [a,a+h]=f(a+h)f(a)h.\begin{align*}\text{Average rate of change of } f\text{ over } [a,a+h]=\frac{f(a+h)-f(a)}{h}. \end{align*}
