Solution Summary: The author explains that the graph represents a polynomial function and determines whether the leading coefficient is positive or negative based on the end behaviour.

To determine
Whether the graph represents a polynomial function or not. If so, determine whether the leading coefficient is positive or negative based on the end behaviour and whether the degree of the polynomial is odd or even.
(c)
To determine
Whether the graph represents a polynomial function or not. If so, approximate the real zeros of the given function and determine if their multiplicities are even or odd.

17. Suppose we know that the graph below is the graph of a solution to dy/dt = f(t).
(a) How much of the slope field can
you sketch from this information?
[Hint: Note that the differential
equation depends only on t.]
(b) What can you say about the solu-
tion with y(0) = 2? (For example,
can you sketch the graph of this so-
lution?)

(b) Find the (instantaneous) rate of change of y at x = 5.
In the previous part, we found the average rate of change for several intervals of decreasing size starting at x = 5. The instantaneous rate of
change of fat x = 5 is the limit of the average rate of change over the interval [x, x + h] as h approaches 0. This is given by the derivative in the
following limit.

f(x + h) − f(x)
h
The first step to find this limit is to compute f(x + h). Recall that this means replacing the input variable x with the expression x + h in the rule
defining f.
f(x + h) = (x + h)² - 5(x+ h)

The second step for finding the derivative of fat x is to find the difference f(x + h) − f(x).
