Homework, Page 124 Refer to the function whose graph is shown. 9. Estimate for h = 0.5 and h = –0.5. Are these numbers larger or smaller than f ′ (2)? Explain. The value of f ′ (2) lies between these two values, as illustrated in Figure 9. Rogawski Calculus Copyright © 2008 W. H. Freeman and Company

Homework, Page 124 Refer to the function whose graph is shown. 13. Which is larger, f ′ (5.5) or f ′ (6.5)? The value of f ′ (5.5) is larger than the value of f ′ (5.5) because the slope of the curve is steeper at x = 5.5 than it is at x = 6.5 Rogawski Calculus Copyright © 2008 W. H. Freeman and Company

The Derivative of a Function

The Derivative as a Function If y = f (x), we may also write y′ or y' (x) for f '(x). The domain of f '(x) consists of all values of x in the domain of f (x) for which the limit exists. Function f (x) is said to be differentiable on (a, b) if f '(x) exists for all x in (a, b). If f '(x) exists for all values of x in the domain of f (x), then we say f (x) is differentiable.
