Answer

(a) When we view the graph in the viewing window $[-2\pi, 2\pi]$ by $[-4,4]$, the slope of the graph at the origin appears to be 1 (b) When we view the graph in the viewing window $[-0.4, 0.4]$ by $[-0.25,0.25]$, the slope of the graph at the origin appears to be 1 (c) When we view the graph in the viewing window $[-0.008, 0.008]$ by $[-0.005,0.005]$, the slope of the graph at the origin appears to be 0

Work Step by Step

(a) $f(x) = sin~x-\frac{1}{1000}sin(1000x)$ When we view the graph in the viewing window $[-2\pi, 2\pi]$ by $[-4,4]$, the slope of the graph at the origin appears to be 1 (b) When we view the graph in the viewing window $[-0.4, 0.4]$ by $[-0.25,0.25]$, the slope of the graph at the origin appears to be 1 This agrees with the answer from part (a) (c) When we view the graph in the viewing window $[-0.008, 0.008]$ by $[-0.005,0.005]$, the slope of the graph at the origin appears to be 0
