Use the definition of the derivative to find the equations of the lines described in Exercises 59-64.The line tangent to the graph of at the point
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.

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.
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.

Stuart left his house at noon and walked north on Pine Street for minutes. At that point he realized he was late for an appointment at the dentist, whose office was located south of Stuart’s house on Pine Street; fearing he would be late, Stuart sprinted south on Pine Street, past his house, and on to the dentist’s office. When he got there, he found the office closed for lunch; he was minutes early for his appointment. Stuart waited at the office for minutes and then found out that his appointment was actually for the next day, so he walked back to his house. Sketch a graph that describes Stuart’s position over time. Then sketch a graph that describes Stuart’s velocity over time.
