Think about what you did today and how far north you were from your house or dorm throughout the day. Sketch a graph that represents your distance north from your house or dorm over the course of the day, and explain how the graph reflects what you did today. Then sketch a graph of your velocity.
Find a function that has the given derivative and value. In each case you can find the answer with an educated guess and check process it may be helpful to do some preliminary algebra
Use (a) the definition of the derivative and then
(b) the definition of the derivative to find for each function f and value in Exercises 23–38.

A tomato plant given ounces of fertilizer will successfully bear pounds of tomatoes in a growing season.
(a) In real-world terms, what does represent and what are its units? What does represent and what are its units?
(b) A study has shown that this fertilizer encourages tomato production when less than ounces are used, but inhibits production when more than ounces are used. When is positive and when is negative? When is positive and when is negative?
Find the derivatives of the functions in Exercises 21–46. Keep in mind that it may be convenient to do some preliminary algebra before differentiating.
