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
Suppose h(t) represents the average height, in feet, of a person who is t years old.
(a) In real-world terms, what does h(12) represent and what are its units? What does h' (12) represent, and what are its units?
(b) Is h(12) positive or negative, and why? Is h'(12) positive or negative, and why?
(c) At approximately what value of t would h(t) have a maximum, and why? At approximately what value of t would h' (t) have a maximum, and why?
Prove the difference rule in two ways
a) using definition of the derivative
b) using sum and constant multiple rules
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.
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.
