TI-M: TIM:Stupid question(?)
Hi, first I am going to give you a little background. I am in pre-cal,
and the engineering team at my school. My math teacher is already somewhat
mad at me for distributing MATH programs of MY design in class, so I am
almost afraid to ask her this.
I know that this is a stupid question, but I was wondering how I could
define a hill that could logically exist (e.g., not 1/x, but maybe a sin
function) and then get the slope of that hill at any given point. I know
about derivatives, but they are awfully slow and I am looking for something a
bit faster.
I am using a TI-86, and the purpose of this model is to design a 'soapbox
derby' car.
