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.
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.
28.
For each function f and value in Exercises 35–44, use a sequence of approximations to estimate . Illustrate your work with an appropriate sequence of graphs of secant lines.
The following reciprocal rules tells us hoe to differentiate the reciprocal of a function
Prove this using
a) definition of the derivative
b) by using the quotient rule
If Katie walked at miles per hour for minutes and then sprinted at miles an hour for minutes, how fast would Dave have to walk or run to go the same distance as Katie did at the same time while moving at a constant speed? Sketch a graph of Katie’s position over time and a graph of Dave’s position over time on the same set of axes.
