The data in the table represent the duration of daylight d t (in hours) for Houston, Texas, for the first day of the month, t months after January 1 for a recent year. a. Enter the data in a graphing utility and use the sinusoidal regression tool (SinReg) to find a model of the form d t = a sin b t + c + d . b. Graph the data and the resulting function.

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)
