EXAMPLE SENTENCES

Calculus students graphed secant line intersecting parabolic curve at two distinct points to calculate average rate of structural change. Engineering formulas utilized secant trigonometric ratio to determine exact tension forces acting upon angled structural steel bridge supports. The mathematics professor demonstrated how secant approaches tangent line as two intersection points move closer along smooth curve. Architects relied on secant calculations to design curved roof arches that maintain structural stability under uneven snow loads. Computer algorithms calculated slope of secant line across data points to estimate numerical derivative values in dynamic simulations.
