Value
[6] 1. Give an example of a function which is continuous everywhere but has no derivative at the point when . Provide a formula as well as the graph of your function.
One example is . The graph of that function is given below:
[7] 2. (a) Find the second derivative of the function .
(b) Find if . Do not simplify.
(a) ;
(b) ; so
[7] 3. A particle is moving along the x-axis and the (signed) distance from the origin is given by the formula , where t is time measured in seconds.
(a) What is the velocity of the particle at the moment when the time t is 2 seconds ? (Do not simplify your answer)
(b) Is the particle moving to the right (toward the larger positive distances) or to the left at that moment ? Justify your answer in one sentence.
(a) the velocity is . At the moment when t is 2 it is .
(b) Since the velocity at that moment is and is positive, the particle moves to the right at that moment.
[5] 4. Find if .
Using the Chain Rule, we get
Alternatively, one may use the Extended Power Rule.
