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

For each function graphed in Exercises 65-68, determine the values of at which fails to be continuous and/or differentiable. At such points, determine any left or right continuity or differentiability. Sketch secant lines supporting your answers.

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.
use the definition of derivative to directly prove the differentiation rules for constant and identity function
