5. Let f (x) be the given function. In page 147, we know that the slope of the tangent line at (3, 2) is exactly equal to
f0(3) = lim
x→3
f (x) − f (3) x − 3 Notice that
f (x) − f (3)
x − 3 = 1
x − 3
x − 1 x − 2 − 2

x − 3
3 − x x − 2
= −1 x − 2 so that
f0(3) = lim
x→3
f (x) − f (3)
x − 3 = lim

x − 2 = −1 The tangent line of y = f (x) at (3, 2) is
y − 2 = (−1)(x − 3)
11. (a) The particle is moving to the right when 0 < t < 1 and 4 < t < 6, to the left when 2 < t < 3, and standing when 1 < t < 2, 3 < t < 4.
(b) See page A72.
17. Recall that given a function y = g(x) in the plane. g0(a) means the slope of the tangent line at (a, g(a)) if g0(a) exists. The answer is
g0(0) < 0 < g0(4) < g0(2) < g0(−2)
19. We only to draw a function with f (0) = 0, and the slope of its tangentline at x = 0 is 3, at x = 1 is 0 and −1 as x = 2. The following gives an example of such function.

43. (a) By definition,
avg1 = C(105) − C(100)
105 − 100 = 26405/4 − 6500
105 − 100 = 20.25 The other is similar.
avg2 = C(101) − C(100)
101 − 100 = 20.05 1
(b) The rate from x to 100 is given by
C(x) − C(100) x − 100 the instantaneous rate is given by taking limit.
x→100lim
C(x) − C(100)
x − 100 = lim

Note that
