1.)   p(x)=3x^2-x+8, million dollars is a company’s profit, years after 2000,   0≤x≤10

  1. Find the derivative of p(x) using the limit definition (algebraic method) of the derivative.
  • Remember to start with the general definition of a derivative and show ALL steps involved in simplifying until you can finally evaluate the limit.
  • Check that you actually have included a step that shows the limit of a completely simplified algebraic expression and that the next step shows the limit of that algebraic expression (but does not have limit notation).
  • Check that you start each step (after the initial step) with an equals sign, and that the limit notation is included in every step before the limit calculation.

2.) Find P'(5)

 

3.) Write a sentence of interpretation for P'(5)
