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.

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.

Use the definition of the derivative to find the equations of the lines described in Exercises 59-64.
The line that passes through the point and is parallel to the tangent line to at .
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.
Use the limit you just found to calculate the exact slope of the tangent line to at . Obviously you should get the same final answer as you did earlier.
