1. Compute the derivative of the following functions

f (x) = x2 2x
1
g(x) =
x
k(x) = x3 17x
2
u(x) =
1+x

v(x) = x
1
w(x) =
x

using definition.

2. Which of the following functions is differentiable at x = 0?

p
f (x) = x|x|, g(x) = x |x|,

h(x) = x + |x|, k(x) = x2 sin ,
x

`(x) = x sin .
x
These formulas do not define k and ` at x = 0. We define k(0) = `(0) = 0.
