    In number 1c on the turn-in is h(r) the same as h(x)?

    For 1b, does anyone have any tips for finding g'(1.5)? I was considering just taking the average but I think that would be too simple.

      Hint: the estimate of the derivative would be the slope between two points

      Off of what Sydney said, I found the slope between two points by using m=(Y2-Y1)/(X2-X1).

    Can we use Theorem 2 in chapter 3 of the book: Intermediate Theorem for Derivatives?

    For Turn-In #3
    I am not sure how to show that the condition for 1 iii is meet or not meet.

      I just proved that the slope was negative at a point, so however you would do that...

    For 1d are we assuming n is greater than 1

      I think that n must be greater than one because of one of the three conditions. (Hint: look at condition i and think about the domain)

      I agree with Sarah :)

    For Turn-In #3
    For 1.c), do I prove that the function does not meet (iii) with two x values in the same function, which would show that f increases (or not), or is there a way to prove it for every following values. Like, to prove that it continuously increases from (0,4) with one equation, or value?

      A single counter-example is enough to disprove a claim.

    I've already had this question answered, but I posted it, or was about to, and I think I exited the page before it posted.

    For 5a, do you use one of the given's to find the time? I can get the derivative but I need time and can't see where to find it from what's given.
