Get started for freeStuart left his house at noon and walked north on Pine Street for minutes. At that point he realized he was late for an appointment at the dentist, whose office was located south of Stuart’s house on Pine Street; fearing he would be late, Stuart sprinted south on Pine Street, past his house, and on to the dentist’s office. When he got there, he found the office closed for lunch; he was minutes early for his appointment. Stuart waited at the office for minutes and then found out that his appointment was actually for the next day, so he walked back to his house. Sketch a graph that describes Stuart’s position over time. Then sketch a graph that describes Stuart’s velocity over time.
Prove that if f is a quadratic polynomial function then the coefficient of f are completely determined by the values of f(x) and its derivatives at x=0 as follows
Use the definition of the derivative to find for each function in Exercises39-54
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
