Part A. If a function f has a derivative at x not. then f is continuous at x not. (How do you get the converse?) Part B. 1) There exist an arbitrary x for all y (x+y=0). Is false but why? 2) For all x there exists a unique y (y=x^2) Is true but why? 3) For all x there exist a unique y (y^2=x) Is true but why?

1) Let f(x) be a continuous, everywhere differentiable function and g(x) be its derivative. If f(c) = n and g(c) = d, write the equation of the tangent line at x = c using only the variables y, x, c, n, and d. You may use point-slope or slope-intercept but do not introduce more variables. 2) Let f(x) be a continuous, everywhere differentiable function. What kind information does f'(x) provide regarding f(x)? 3) Let f(x) be a continuous, everywhere differentiable...
