Sketch a graph of the associated slope function f' for each function f.

Use the definition of the derivative to find for each function in Exercises 34-59
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.
Think about what you did today and how far north you were from your house or dorm throughout the day. Sketch a graph that represents your distance north from your house or dorm over the course of the day, and explain how the graph reflects what you did today. Then sketch a graph of your velocity.
Use (a) the definition of the derivative and then
