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.
A bowling ball dropped from a height of feet will be feet from the ground after seconds. Use a sequence of average velocities to estimate the instantaneous velocities described below:
After seconds, with
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
Sketch a graph of the associated slope function f' for each function f.

For each function graphed in Exercises 65-68, determine the values of at which fails to be continuous and/or differentiable. At such points, determine any left or right continuity or differentiability. Sketch secant lines supporting your answers.
