Homework-4 : Due 10/26/2023 at 11:00pm HKT

The problems in this homework set cover the basic concepts of limits of
functions and their calculation. You need to know:
1. the limit definition of derivative;
2. derivatives as rates of change, or slopes of tangent lines;
3. derivative formulas of elementary functions;
4. basic rules of differentiation: power rule, product and quotient rules,
chain rule.
At what time does the child:
Give 4 or 5 significant digits for numerical answers. For most problems A. Begin to inflate the balloon? t =
when entering numerical answers, you can if you wish enter elementary expres- B. Finish inflating the balloon? t =
sions such as 3∧ 2 or 3**2 instead of 9, sin(3 ∗ pi/2) instead of -1, e∧ (ln(3)) C. Begin to let the air out? t =
instead of 3, (1 + tan(3)) ∗ (4 − sin(5))∧ 6 − 15/8 instead of 12748.8657, etc. (What would the graph of V 0 (t) look like if the child had al-
ternated between pinching and releasing the open end of the
1 balloon, instead of letting the air out at constant rate?)
1. (6 points) Let f (x) be the function x+10 . Then the quotient
f (7+h)− f (7) −1 Answer(s) submitted:
h can be simplified to ah+b for:
a= •
and •
b= •

Answer(s) submitted:
•
• 4. (6 points) For the function f (x) shown in the graph below,
sketch a graph of the derivative. You will then be picking which
(incorrect) of the following is the correct derivative graph, but should be
sure to first sketch the derivative yourself.
2. (8 points) Let
(
6x − 4x2 for x < 0 ,
f (x) =
7x2 + 6x for x ≥ 0 .

According to the definition of the derivative, to compute f 0 (0),

we need to compute the left-hand limit
lim , which is ,
x→0−
and the right-hand limit Which of the following graphs is the derivative of f (x)?
lim , which is . [?/1/2/3/4/5/6/7/8]
x→0+
We conclude that f 0 (0) is (Click on a graph to enlarge it.)

Note: If a limit or derivative is undefined, enter ’undefined’

as your answer.
