Velocity is the derivative of position . It is also true that acceleration (the rate of change of velocity) is the derivative of velocity. If a race car’s position in miles t hours after the start of a race is given by the function , what are the units of ? What are the units and real-world interpretation of ? What are the units and real-world interpretations of ?
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.

Suppose f is ant cubic polynomial function prove that coefficients of f a, b, c, d can be expressed in terms of values of f(x) and its derivatives at the point x=2
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.
