Getting Towed The cost C , in dollars;to tow a car is modelled by the function C ( x ) = 2.5 x + 85 , where x is the number of miles towed. What is the cost of towing a car 40 miles? If the cost of towing a car is $ 245 , how many miles was is towed? Suppose that you have only $ 150 . What is the maximum number if miles that you can be towed? What is the domain of C ?

Consider the function f(x) = x²-1.
(a) Find the instantaneous rate of change of f(x) at x=1 using the definition of the derivative.
Show all your steps clearly.
(b) Sketch the graph of f(x) around x = 1. Draw the secant line passing through the points on the
graph where x 1 and x->
1+h (for a small positive value of h, illustrate conceptually). Then,
draw the tangent line to the graph at x=1. Explain how the slope of the tangent line relates to the
value you found in part (a).
(c) In a few sentences, explain what the instantaneous rate of change of f(x) at x = 1 represents in
the context of the graph of f(x). How does the rate of change of this function vary at different
points?
1. The graph of ƒ is given. Use the graph to evaluate each of the following values. If a value does not exist,
state that fact.

(a) f'(-5)
(b) f'(-3)
(c) f'(0)
(d) f'(5)
2. Find an equation of the tangent line to the graph of y = g(x) at x = 5 if g(5) = −3 and g'(5)
=
