use the definition of derivative to directly prove the differentiation rules for constant and identity function
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.
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.

Prove the difference rule in two ways
a) using definition of the derivative
b) using sum and constant multiple rules
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
