In point-slope form, the equation of the line tangent to the curve at is
Indicate whether each of the following statements is True or False.
If the statement is true, explain how you know it’s true.
If it is false, give a counterexample and explain why it is a counterexample. (A
counterexample is an example of a function for which the ‘‘if’’ part of the statement
is true, but the ‘‘then’’ part is false.) A graph with an explanation can be used as a
counterexample.

Consider the function given by
Use the definition of the derivative of a function at a point (as a limit) to
determine whether is differentiable at . Show details of how you made this
determination. Evaluate any limits involved algebraically (without using a
calculator).
If exists, fill in the blank with its value. If not, draw a smiley face in the blank.

Sketch a graph of on the grid provided. (Note that this question cannot be validated in this system.)
Describe how your graph above supports the answer you found in the first question
of this problem. (Note that this question cannot be validated in this system.)
There are three graphs plotted in the coordinate system below (, , and
).
Which graph is ? Which graph is ? Which graph is ? Give reasons for your answers in
sentences. Your explanation should include a discussion of slope with regard to each
graph.
Graph 1 is
Graph 2 is
Graph 3 is
Justify your answers using complete sentences. Your justification should include a
discussion of slope with regard to each graph. (Note that the response below cannot be validated as correct or incorrect.)
Calculate the indicated derivatives by using the Differentiation Rules (Theorems).
Answers must be accompanied by supporting work that shows how you calculated
the derivative. You do not need to simplify your answers on these problems.
If you do simplify an answer, you must simplify correctly.
(Instead of using in your answer, use in the answer field below.)
