Medical researchers have recently begun to use mathematical modeling to project the length of time that it takes to heal many common wounds. Suppose that the healing of a 10-square-inch chest wound can be modeled byf(x) = 10(4/5)x       (4/5 to the x power)     x ≥ 0
Â
where x represents the number of days since the wound occurred and f(x) represents the size of the wound in square inches.(a) Evaluate f(9).
(Round your answer to two decimal places.)
f(9) =Â 1.34
Â
Interpret f(9).
After 9  days since the wound occurred, the size of the wound is 1.34   square inches.

(b) Compute the slope of the secant line for x = 1  and Δx = 9.
(Round your answer to two decimal places.

How do you solve the secant line
