Get started for freeIn Exercises 47 and 48 , determine whether the graph of the function has a tangent at the origin. Explain your answer. $$f(x)=\left\\{\begin{array}{ll}{x \sin \frac{1}{x},} & {x \neq 0} \\ {0,} & {x=0}\end{array}\right.$$
Horizontal Tangent At what point is the tangent to \(f(x)=3-4 x-x^{2}\) horizontal?
In Exercises \(19 - 28 ,\) determine the limit graphically. Confirm algebraically. $$\lim _ { x \rightarrow 1 } \frac { x - 1 } { x ^ { 2 } - 1 }$$
Free Fall on a Small Airless Planet A rock released from rest to fall on a small airless planet falls \(y = g t ^ { 2 } \mathrm { m }\) in \(t \mathrm { sec } , g\) a constant. Suppose that the rock falls to the bottom of a crevasse 20\(\mathrm { m }\) below and reaches the bottom in 4\(\mathrm { sec. }\) (a) Find the value of \(g .\) (b) Find the average speed for the fall. (c) With what speed did the rock hit the bottom?
In Exercises 49 and 50 , determine the limit. Assume that $$\lim _ { x \rightarrow b } f ( x ) = 7$$ and $$\lim _ { x \rightarrow b } g ( x ) = - 3$$ (a) $$\lim _ { x \rightarrow b } ( f ( x ) + g ( x ) ) \quad \quad$$ (b) $$\lim _ { x \rightarrow b } ( f ( x ) \cdot g ( x ) )$$ (c) $$\lim _ { x \rightarrow b } 4 g ( x ) - \quad$$ (d) $$\lim _ { x \rightarrow b } \frac { f ( x ) } { g ( x ) }$$
