(b) Viewing the same graph with a greater zoom shows this more clearly.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Watch the following video to see the worked solution to this example.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/tto0E7yOSLo?controls=0&amp;start=1240&amp;end=1411&amp;autoplay=0\" width=\"750\" height=\"450\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>For closed captioning, open the video on its original page by clicking the Youtube logo in the lower right-hand corner of the video display.
