In Exercises 69–80, determine whether or not f is continuous and/or differentiable at the given value of x. If not, determine any left or right continuity or differentiability. For the last four functions, use graphs instead of the definition of the derivative.

$f (x) = \{\begin{cases} x^{2} - 3, i f x < 3 \\ x + 2, i f x \geq 3, \end{cases} x = 3$

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.

A bowling ball dropped from a height of $400$ feet will be $s (t) = 400 - 16 t^{2}$ feet from the ground after $t$ seconds. Use a sequence of average velocities to estimate the instantaneous velocities described below:

When the bowling ball is first dropped, with $h = 0.5,$ $h = 0.25, a n d h = 0.1$

Prove that if f is any cubic polynomial function $f (x) = a x^{3} + b x^{2} + c x + d$ then the coefficients of f are completely determined by the values of f(x) and its derivative at x=0 as follows

$a = \frac{f "' (0)}{6}; b = \frac{f " (0)}{2}; c = f' (0); d = f (0)$

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

$f' (x) = (x^{4} - 8) (1 - 3 x^{5}); f (0) = 2$
