In Exercises 69–80, determine whether or not f is continuous and/or differentiable at the given value of x. If not, determine any left or right continuity or differentiability. For the last four functions, use graphs instead of the definition of the derivative.
Each graph in Exercises 31–34 can be thought of as the associated slope function f' for some unknown function f. In each case sketch a possible graph of f.

For each function and interval localid="1648297458718" in Exercises localid="1648297462718" , use the Intermediate Value Theorem to argue that the function must have at least one real root on localid="1648297466951" . Then apply Newton’s method to approximate that root.

Differentiate in three ways. When you have completed all three parts, show that your three answers are the same:
(a) with the chain rule
(b) with the product rule but not the chain rule
(c) without the chain or product rules.
