INSTANT ANSWER

Your cousin has built a model rocket that she wishes to launch in your back yard. You’re a little worried by this (you live near an airport) and ask her for some details. She says to you: “When I launch the rocket straight upwards (vertically), it will accelerate at 3.5g (g = the acceleration due to gravity) for 4.3 seconds. Then the rocket will burn out (stop firing).” Ignore air friction in your calculations.

Let f(x) = egin{cases} -8x^2 + 6x & ext{for } x < 0, \ 5x^2 - 2 & ext{for } x ge 0. end{cases} According to the definition of the derivative, to compute f'(0), we need to compute the left-hand limit lim_{x o 0^-} [ ], which is [ ], and the right-hand limit lim_{x o 0^+} [ ], which is [ ]. We conclude that f'(0) is undefined. Note: If a limit or derivative is undefined, enter 'undefined' as your answer.

Use the definition of the derivative to compute the derivative of the function f(x) = sqrt(x + 4) at an arbitrary point x. Evaluate the limit by using algebra to simplify the difference quotient (in first answer box) and then evaluating the limit (in the second answer box). f'(x) = lim_{h->0} ((f(x+h) - f(x))/h) = lim_{h->0} ( ) = 0 . Hint: use the conjugate trick.

Suppose f(x) = -x^2 + 7. Evaluate the limit below by using algebra to simplify the difference quotient (in first answer box) and then evaluating the limit (in the second answer box). lim (h -> 0) ( (f(4 + h) - f(4)) / h ) = lim (h -> 0) ( [ ] ) = 0 .
