Name: ____________________________________ Score: _______________
Grade & Section: _________________________ Date: ________________

Learning Competencies
1. Illustrate the tangent line to the graph of a function at a given point.
(STEM_BC11DIIIe-1)
2. Define the properties of a tangent line to the graph of a function at a given point.
3. Apply the definition of the derivative of a function at a given point.
(STEM_BC11DIIIe-2)
4. Relate the derivative of a function to the slope of the tangent line.
(STEM_BC11DIIIe-3)
5. Solve word problems involving the derivative of a function.

Activity Proper
I. Fill out the line with word/s to make the concepts about slopes of the tangent
to a curve true.

In Geometry, (1) ________________ is a line that intersects a circle at exactly one point.
However, in cases where the curve is (2) ________________, a tangent may intersect a curve
at different points. Thus, the slope of the tangent is not (3) ________________ and must be
determined by a point.
The tangent lines drawn at the maximum or minimum points are always (4)
________________. A tangent line is also tangent to the (5) ________________. Vertical tangents
may also exist if the graph or function is (6) ________________. There are cases when a
tangent line does not exist. First, if the function is (7) ________________ at x. Second, if the
graph has a (8) ________________ or (9) ________________ at P.
The precise definition of a tangent line relies on the notion of a (10) ________________
line. It is the limiting position of the secant line as Q approaches P. The slope of the tangent
line which is also the function’s (11) ________________ may be defined in symbols in two
ways:
(12) ________________ or (13) ________________
The derivative of the function which is the slope of a tangent line to the graph of 𝑓(𝑥)
is also interpreted as the (14) ________________. While the (15) ________________is defined as
the ratio between the amount of change in one variable and the amount of change in
another.

II. For each of the following functions, find the indicated derivative using the
definition.

2. 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 + 1; 𝑓 ′ (2)

III. Solve the following problems. Write your solutions and final answers on a
separate sheet.

1. Find the equations of the tangent and normal lines to the curve 𝑦 = 𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 + 3
at 𝑥 = −1. (Note: A normal line is a line perpendicular to the tangent line at
the point of tangency.)

2. Find the equation of the tangent line to the curve 𝑦 = 𝑥 2 − 2𝑥 − 3 that is parallel
to the line 𝑥 + 𝑦 = 1

3. Find the equation of the tangent line to the curve 𝑦 = 𝑥 2 − 3𝑥 + 4 that is


perpendicular to the line 𝑥 − 𝑦 = −1

4. Suppose the function is defined by 𝑦 = 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 − 𝑥


a. Find the average rate of change of y with respect to x over the interval [1, 3].
b. Find the instantaneous rate of change of y with respect to x at the point
𝑥 = −1.
