This applet displays the graph of y=x^n. With the sliders you can choose different values of n, as well as choosing the x -coordinate b1 of a point b on the curve. The slope of the tangent to the curve at the point b is shown.
Your task is to find a way of predicting tangent slope for graphs of quadratics and graphs of cubics
