3. In your textbook, study Section 3.1, Example 2(b) on page 149 practicing it on a separate sheet of paper without looking at the solution in the textbook. Then compare with the textbook solution to insure you understand.
4. In your textbook, study Section 3.1 from the middle of page 150 through page 151.
5. If you have not done it, now study the notes for EQUATION OF A TANGENT LINE in the Session 6 notes.
At the end of this session you will be able to
