Build a table of slopes of secant lines, msec ?, connecting (32??,f(32??)) to (32??+h,f(32??+h)) for f(x)=cos(x) (to five decimal places of accuracy) and use this to estimate the slope of the tangent line to f(x)=cos(x) at x=32??. \begin{tabular}{lcc} \multicolumn{1}{c}{h} & msec ? & h \\ 0.1 & & ?0.1 \\ 0.01 & & ?0.01 \\ 0.001 & ?0.001 \\ 0.0001 & ?0.0001 \end{tabular} Continue to build your own table until you are sufficiently satisfied you have five decimal digits of accuracy. Estimated value of the slope of the tangent line is approximately
