- Does a Limiting Value Occur? A rocket ship is flying away from Earth at a constant velocity, and it continues on its course indefinitely. Let D(t) denote its distance from Earth after t years of travel. Do you expect that D has a limiting value?arrow_forward1. Sketch a function that has a horizontal tangent line for all values of x. Explain how you arrived at this graph. 2. Sketch a function that is continuous for all real numbers and has horizontal tangent lines at (0,0) and (3, 3). Give a formula for the function, explaining how you arrived at this particular example.arrow_forwardExplain why or why not Determine whether the following statements are true and give an explanation or counter examplearrow_forward
- Calculating limits The following limits are the derivatives ofa composite function g at a point a.a. Find a possible function g and number a.b. Use the Chain Rule to find each limit. Verify your answer by using acalculatorarrow_forwardChoose the correct answer. By definition, we call a function differentiable at a closed interval [a, b] if it has: [a right-hand derivative, a derivative, a left-hand derivative] at every point in the open interval (a, b), [a right-hand derivative, a derivative, a left-hand derivative] at the endpoint a, and [a right-hand derivative, a derivative, a left-hand derivative] at the endpoint b.arrow_forwardPlease explain thank you!arrow_forward
- Using the limit definition of the derivative of a function, set up the derivatives of the three functions listed below. Then, match the derivative each function you worked on with the correct limit from the list a), b), c), d), e), and f). (Some extra limits are provided in this list). 13 – x + h – a) lim h→0 1 sin x - 2 b) lim C) (2+ h)5 – 32 d) lim h→0 h cos ( + h) 2 e) lim h→0 h (2)5+h – 32 f) lim h→0 Here is the list of functions you need to work on and the space for choosing the limit that will comple the equation of the derivative: For f(x) = V3 – x, f'(x) Choose.. + • For f(æ) = x°, f'(2) = Choose.. + • For f(x) = sin x, f'(5) = Choose... +arrow_forwardPls help w this ques, use only given rules.
