Week 3

9/5

page 69/1-9*, 11,12,14*,15, 16,18   (hand in starred problems)

Do problem 2 on page 26.  You will notice that for very small values of h approaching zero this determines the instantaneous or actual rate of change.  For the functions in problem 2 can you find what the instantaneous rate of change will be at a typical value of x by computing (f(x+h) - f(x))/h  as h approaches 0?   Hand in your results for extra credit.
