Use the definition of the derivative to find the equations of the lines described in Exercises 59-64.

Stuart 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.
For each function f and value in Exercises 35–44, use a sequence of approximations to estimate . Illustrate your work with an appropriate sequence of graphs of secant lines.
Prove that if f is any cubic polynomial function then the coefficients of f are completely determined by the values of f(x) and its derivative at x=0 as follows
