EXERCISES

Note that there aren't many exercises in this section.  You shouldn't waste too much time doing these types of problems, as soon we'll have much easier ways to do these calculations.

Find the derivative of each function, using the limit definition of derivative:

1.    f (x) = 10 – 7x  

2.    F(x) = 8x² + 3x – 1

3.
