It looks like you have provided an image related to a Julia programming exercise involving tangent lines to a function $f(x) = \sin(x)$ at $x = \frac{\pi}{4}$.

The code example and instructions suggest the following:

1. Definition of the function $f(x) = \sin(x)$.
2. Using tangent(f, c) in Julia, where $c = \frac{\pi}{4}$, to calculate the tangent line to $f(x)$.
3. You are asked to:
   • (c) Use the tangent line tline to find the intercept $b$ by selecting an appropriate value of $x$.
   • (d) Use tline to find the slope $m$ of the tangent line.

Explanation:

• The slope $m$ of the tangent line is the derivative of $f(x) = \sin(x)$ at $x = \frac{\pi}{4}$, which is $f'(x) = \cos(x)$.
• At $x = \frac{\pi}{4}$, $f'(x) = \cos\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$. So, the slope $m$ is $\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$.
• The equation of the tangent line is $y = mx + b$. To find $b$, use the fact that the line passes through $x = \frac{\pi}{4}$ and $f\left(\frac{\pi}{4}\right) = \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}$.

For Julia:

To calculate this:

juliaCopy code
using MTH229

f(x) = sin(x)
c = π/4
tline = tangent(f, c)

# Part (c): To find intercept b, choose any value of x
# Let's try x = c (π/4):
x = π/4
y = tline(x)

# Part (d): The slope m is found directly as the output from tline

This will calculate the intercept and slope for the tangent line.

Do you want any further details or clarifications?

Here are five related questions you might explore:

1. How does the tangent line change for different values of $x$?
2. Can you derive the equation of the tangent line manually for $f(x) = \sin(x)$?
3. What happens if you choose a different function, like $f(x) = \cos(x)$?
4. How does the Julia tangent function compute the tangent line?
5. How can you graph the tangent line and the function together in Julia?

Tip: When working with tangents, always remember that the slope is simply the derivative at the point of interest.
