Last night Phil went jogging along Main Street. His distance from the post office t minutes after p.m. is shown in the preceding graph at the right.
(a) Give a narrative (that matches the graph) of what Phil did on his jog.
(b) Sketch a graph that represents Phil’s instantaneous velocity t minutes after p.m. Make sure you label the tick marks on the vertical axis as accurately as you can.
(c) When was Phil jogging the fastest? The slowest? When was he the farthest away from the post office? The closest to the post office?
Use the differentiation rules developed in this section to find
the derivatives of the functions
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
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.
Instead of choosing small values of h, we could have chosen values of z close to c. What limit involving z instead of h is equivalent to the one involving h?
