Chapter 2: Q. 65 (page 185)

For each function graphed in Exercises 65-68, determine the values of xat which ffails to be continuous and/or differentiable. At such points, determine any left or right continuity or differentiability. Sketch secant lines supporting your answers.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The function is not continuous at x=2and non-differentiable atx=-1,2and the secant lines are

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given information

Given graph

02

See the point at which there is a sharp point

From the graph, the function is having a sharp point at x=2. The function is nondifferentiable at x=-1,2

The secant lines are

Last night Phil went jogging along Main Street. His distance from the post office t minutes after 6:00p.m. is shown in the preceding graph at the right.

(a) Give a narrative (that matches the graph) of what Phil did on his jog.

(b) Sketch a graph that represents Phil’s instantaneous velocity t minutes after 6:00p.m. Make sure you label the tick marks on the vertical axis as accurately as you can.

(c) When was Phil jogging the fastest? The slowest? When was he the farthest away from the post office? The closest to the post office?

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.

f(x)=53x4-13+3x-1100

Stuart left his house at noon and walked north on Pine Street for 20minutes. 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 10minutes early for his 12:40appointment. Stuart waited at the office for 10minutes 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.

Use (a) the h→0definition of the derivative and then

(b) the z→cdefinition of the derivative to find f'(c)for each function f and value x=c in Exercises 23–38.

27.f(x)=1-x3,x=-1

Suppose u(x)=3x2+1and f(u)=u2+3u51-u. Use the chain rule to find role="math" localid="1648356625815" ddx(f(u(x))) without first finding the formula for f(u(x)).
