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.
(c) Compute the average rate of change in yearly expenditures between 1995 and 1996.
(d) Estimate the rate at which yearly expenditures of public colleges and universities were increasing in 1995.
Use the definition of the derivative to find for each function in Exercises 34-59
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.
Think about what you did today and how far north you were from your house or dorm throughout the day. Sketch a graph that represents your distance north from your house or dorm over the course of the day, and explain how the graph reflects what you did today. Then sketch a graph of your velocity.
use the definition of the derivative to prove the quotient rule
