Prove the difference rule in two ways
a) using definition of the derivative
b) using sum and constant multiple rules
Each graph in Exercises 31鈥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 39-54

Use thedefinition of the derivative to prove the power rule holds for positive integers powers
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鈥檚 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?
