    This document provides a calculus worksheet with 10 problems on differentiation. Problem 1 asks students to find the rate of change of an investment function over different time intervals and estimate the instantaneous rate of change. Problem 2 involves estimating rates of change of an internet user function. Problem 3 involves sketching a quadratic function, finding its derivative, and writing the equation of its tangent line. The remaining problems involve using definitions and graphs to find derivatives, determine intervals where the derivative is positive or negative, and identify which definition provides the formula for the derivative.
