WORKSHEET ON DERIVATIVES

1. For each of the graphs shown below, list the x-values for which the function appears to be:
(i) not continuous (ii) not differentiable

2. Match the points labeled on the curve with the given slopes.

__________________________________________________________________________________
3. For the graph y = f ( x ) shown in the figure, arrange the following numbers in ascending order:
• The slope of the graph at A
• The slope of the graph at B
• The slope of the graph at C
• The slope of the line AB
• The number 0
• The number 1

__________________________________________________________________________________
4. For the function shown below, at what labeled points is the slope of the graph:
positive?

negative?

At which labeled point does the graph have the:


greatest (i.e., most positive) slope?

the least slope (i.e., negative and with the largest magnitude)?

TURN>>>
Estimate the slope of the graph at the points ( x1 , y1 ) and ( x2 , y2 ) .

6. Let f be a function which satisfies the property f ( x + y =


) f ( x ) + f ( y ) + 2 xy for all real
f (h)
numbers x and y, and suppose that lim = 7 . Use the definition of the derivative
h →0 h
to find f ′ ( x ) .

7. Let f be a function which satisfies f (1 + h ) − f (1) = 3h + 4h 2 − 5h3 for all real numbers h.
Find f ′ (1) .
__________________________________________________________________________________
f ( x ) − f ( 2)

MUST be true, MIGHT be true, or can NEVER be true? Explain your answers.

(a) f ( x ) is continuous at x = 2.

(b) f ( x ) is continuous at x = 0.

(c) f ( 2 ) = 0
