Homework-4 : Due 10/22/2024 at 11:00pm HKT
The problems in this homework set cover the basic concepts of limits of functions and their calculation. You need to know:
1. the limit definition of derivative;
2. derivatives as rates of change, or slopes of tangent lines;
3. derivative formulas of elementary functions;
4. basic rules of di↵erentiation: power rule, product and quotient rules, chain rule.
Give 4 or 5 significant digits for numerical answers. For most problems when entering numerical answers, you can if you wish enter
elementary expressions such as 3^ 2 or 3**2 instead of 9, sin(3⇤pi/2) instead of -1, e^ (ln(3)) instead of 3, (1+tan(3))⇤(4 sin(5))^ 6 15/8
instead of 12748.8657, etc.

We can cancel the common factor from the numera-
tor and denominator leaving the polynomial

Problem 5. (4 points) A child fills a pail by using a water hose. After finishing,
Let f (x) be the function whose graph is shown below. the child plays in a sandbox for a while before tipping
the pail over to empty it. If V (t) gives the volume of the
water in the pail at time t, then the figure below shows
V 0 (t) as a function of t.

(What would the graph of V 0 (t) look like if the child filled
the pail by using a play shovel to repeatedly scoop water
from a larger bucket and dump it in the pail instead of
using a hose?)
