Use the following limit definition to determine the slope of the line tangent to the graph of at , where and :
A rocket is launched vertically up, and its height above the ground is given by the function , where is in meters and is in seconds. The graph below shows along with its velocity function and the acceleration function for the time interval .
Using the graph, determine the time when the rocket changes direction.
Find the limit by converting it first to a derivative at .
For the function h(x)=−x312, identify the intervals of x-values where the function increases and decreases as x increases.
If the current in a circuit is related to the voltage, , by the formula: , where and are constants, find .
Given a function that models the height (in centimeters) of a plant days after it was planted, estimate from the provided graph. What does this derivative indicate?
If a function has a derivative at the point , what can be said about the continuity of at ?
