In Exercises 69–80, determine whether or not is continuous and/or differentiable at the given value of . If not, determine any left or right continuity or differentiability. For the last four functions, use graphs instead of the definition of the derivative.
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 for each function in Exercises

Suppose h(t) represents the average height, in feet, of a person who is t years old.
(a) In real-world terms, what does h(12) represent and what are its units? What does h' (12) represent, and what are its units?
(b) Is h(12) positive or negative, and why? Is h'(12) positive or negative, and why?
(c) At approximately what value of t would h(t) have a maximum, and why? At approximately what value of t would h' (t) have a maximum, and why?
