Get started for freeSketch careful, labeled graphs of each function f in Exercises 63–82 by hand, without consulting a calculator or graphing utility. As part of your work, make sign charts for the signs, roots, and undefined points of and examine any relevant limits so that you can describe all key points and behaviors of f.
Use a sign chart for to determine the intervals on which each function is increasing or decreasing. Then verify your algebraic answers with graphs from a calculator or graphing utility.
Restate Rolle’s Theorem so that its conclusion has to do with tangent lines.
Sketch the graph of a function f with the following properties:
f is continuous and defined on R;
f(0) = 5;
f(−2) = −3 and f '(−2) = 0;
f '(1) does not exist;
f' is positive only on (−2, 1).
Last night at 6 p.m., Linda got up from her blue easy chair. She did not return to her easy chair until she sat down again at 8 p.m. Let s(t) be the distance between Linda and her easy chair t minutes after 6 p.m. last night.
(a) Sketch a possible graph of s(t), and describe what Linda did between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. according to your graph. (Questions to think about: Will Linda necessarily move in a continuous and differentiable way? What are good ranges for t and s?
(b) Use Rolle’s Theorem to show that at some point between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., Linda’s velocity v(t) with respect to the easy chair was zero. Find such a place on the graph of s(t).
