17. What is the simplified average rate of change between x = 2 and x = 2 + h for the function: ƒ(x) = x2 - 3x?
18. Based on your result from above, what is the slope of the tangent to f(x) at the point when x = 2?
19. Find the slope of the tangent line to f(x) = 2x4 +1 when x = 2 using first principles.
20. Use your answer from 19) to determine the equation (in the form of y=mx+b) of the tangent line to f(x) at x=2.
16. Determine the limit by showing all your steps, if it exists. limx→255−x√25−x
15. Find the point(as an ordered pair) on the curve f(x)=−4x^2−3 at which there exists a tangent with slope of 4. Show your work using first principles.
14. Determine the slope of the tangent to the curve y=3x^3+4x at the point ( 1 , 7 ) using first principles.
13. The population growth P(t) in a community is projected to follow the function
P= 7t2 + 5t + 350 , where t is time in years. Estimate the instantaneous rate of growth in the 5th year by showing all of your steps on paper.
12. The population growth, P(t) in a community is projected to follow the function
P(t) = 7t2 + 5t + 350, where t is time in years. Find the average rate of growth from the 2nd to the 5th year.
11. What happens when a limit does not equal the same value from the left and the right, such as:limx→3+f(x) = −4limx→3−f(x) = 2?
