For each function and interval in Exercises , use the Intermediate Value Theorem to argue that the function must have at least one real root on . Then apply Newton’s method to approximate that root.

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 tomato plant given ounces of fertilizer will successfully bear pounds of tomatoes in a growing season.
(a) In real-world terms, what does represent and what are its units? What does represent and what are its units?
(b) A study has shown that this fertilizer encourages tomato production when less than ounces are used, but inhibits production when more than ounces are used. When is positive and when is negative? When is positive and when is negative?
Each graph in Exercises 31–34 can be thought of as the associated slope function f' for some unknown function f. In each case sketch a possible graph of f.

In Exercises 69–80, determine whether or not f is continuous and/or differentiable at the given value of x. If not, determine any left or right continuity or differentiability. For the last four functions, use graphs instead of the definition of the derivative.
