Problems Given
f(5)=10
and
f^(')(5)=2
, approximate
f(6)
. Given
P(100)=-67
and
P^(')(100)=5
, approximate
P(110)
. Given
z(25)=187
and
z^(')(25)=17
, approximate
z(20)
. Knowing
f(10)=25
and
f^(')(10)=5
and the methods de- scribed in this section, which approximation is likely to be most accurate:
f(10.1),f(11)
, or
f(20)
? Explain your rea- soning. Given
f(7)=26
and
f(8)=22
, approximate
f^(')(7)
. Given
H(0)=17
and
H(2)=29
, approximate
H^(')(2)
. Let
V(x)
measure the volume, in decibels, measured inside a restaurant with
x
customers. What are the units of
V^(')(x)
? Let
v(t)
measure the velocity, in
f(t)/(s)
, of a car moving in a straight line
t
seconds after starting. What are the units of
v^(')(t)
? The height
H
, in feet, of a river is recorded
t
hours after mid- night, April 1. What are the units of
H^(')(t)
?
P
is the profit, in thousands of dollars, of producing and sell- ing
c
cars. (a) What are the units of
P^(')(c)
? (b) What is likely true of
P(0)
?
T
is the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit,
h
hours after midnight on July 4 in Sidney, NE. (a) What are the units of
T^(')(h)
? (b) Is
T^(')(8)
likely greater than or less than 0 ? Why? (c) Is
T(8)
likely greater than or less than 0 ? Why? Review In Exercises 19-20, use the definition to compute the deriva- tives of the following functions.
f(x)=5x^(2)
f(x)=(x-2)^(3)
In Exercises 21 - 22, numerically approximate the value of
f^(')(x)
at the indicated
x
value.
f(x)=cosx
at
x=\pi
.
f(x)=\sqrt(x)
at
x=9
.
