Writing Assignment for Thursday, November 13^th

Please give short answers to each of the following questions by emailing me through the link for your section: 8 Section 10 Section

1. (Youπll need a graphing utility or a creative imagination for this first exercise) If we zoom in really close to a point on a continuous and differentiable function, what does the graph look like? What other equation might give that same graph within that viewing window?
2. Why might it be useful to approximate a function with polynomials?
3. Exam time coming up around the corner (didnπt we just go through this??) What should we do to prepare?

For mild amusement, click here and watch any of the last four videos in the åVelocity and Accelerationπ section. For a groovy explanation of the quotient rule, watch the one titled Compute the derivative of ex^2/tan(x)
