Use the definition of the derivative to find for each function in Exercises 34-59
Suppose f is ant cubic polynomial function prove that coefficients of f a, b, c, d can be expressed in terms of values of f(x) and its derivatives at the point x=2
Find a function that has the given derivative and value. In each case you can find the answer with an educated guess and check process it may be helpful to do some preliminary algebra
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.
The total yearly expenditures by public colleges and universities from 1990 to 2000 can be modeled by the function , where expenditures are measured in billions of dollars and time is measured in years since 1990.
(a) Estimate the total yearly expenditures by these colleges and universities in 1995.
(b) Compute the average rate of change in yearly expenditures between 1990 and 2000.
