1 Differentiability and Rates of Change

2 To be differentiable, a function must be continuous and smooth. Derivatives will fail to exist at: cornercusp vertical tangent discontinuity (jump)

3 True/False : 1)If a function is differentiable, then it must be continuous. give and example 2) If a function in continuous, then it must be differentiable. give an example

5 2) 1)

6 Recall the connection between average rate of change an instantaneous

7 Review: average slope: slope at a point: average velocity: (slope) instantaneous velocity: (slope at 1 point) If is the position function: These are often mixed up by Calculus students! So are these! velocity = slope

8 The slope of a curve at a point is the same as the slope of the tangent line at that point. If you want the normal line (perpendicular line), use the negative reciprocal of the slope.
