  3. To be differentiable, a function must be continuous and smooth. Derivatives will fail to exist at: corner cusp discontinuity vertical tangent

  4. Most of the functions we study in calculus will be differentiable.

  5. Derivatives on the TI-89: You must be able to calculate derivatives with the calculator and without. Today you will be using your calculator, but be sure to do them by hand when called for. Remember that half the test is no calculator.

  6. d ( x ^ 3, x ) ENTER ENTER ENTER ENTER 2nd 8 This is the derivative symbol, which is . Use the up arrow key to highlight and press . Find at x = 2. Example: returns It is not a lower case letter “d”. returns or use:

  7. returns returns Warning: The calculator may return an incorrect value if you evaluate a derivative at a point where the function is not differentiable. Examples:

  8. The derivative of is only defined for , even though the calculator graphs negative values of x. Graphing Derivatives Graph: What does the graph look like? This looks like: Use your calculator to evaluate:

  9. If f has a derivative at x = a, then f is continuous at x = a. Two theorems: Since a function must be continuous to have a derivative, if it has a derivative then it is continuous.

  10. If a and b are any two points in an interval on which f is differentiable, then takes on every value between and . Between a and b, must take on every value between and . Intermediate Value Theorem for Derivatives p
