Get started for freeProve 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 prove the quotient rule
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.
The following reciprocal rules tells us hoe to differentiate the reciprocal of a function
Prove this using
a) definition of the derivative
b) by using the quotient rule
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.
