Fundamentals of Differentiation
If a function represents the velocity of an object over time, how can the derivative be described?
The rate of change of the position at a specific time.
The integral of the velocity function.
The total change in position over a given time interval.
The average velocity of the object.

f(x) = \sqrt{x} + \frac{2}{x}. What is the derivative of the function at any point x?
What can be said about the continuity and differentiability of c(t)?
The function is continuous and differentiable where the derivative exists and is finite.
The function does not exist at points where the derivative exists or is infinite.
The function is continuous and differentiable as long as exists as a limit, less function.
The function may or may not be required to be continuous or differentiable if the derivative is undefined.
If , what is the derivative of at the point where ?

Consider the function given by . What does equal based on its graphical representation?
Which describes the relationship between a function and its derivative?
The derivative represents the area under the curve of a function.
The derivative is always equal to the original function.
The derivative is always greater than the function itself.
The derivative can show the function's increasing or decreasing behavior.
Which expression represents the instantaneous rate of change for the function f(x) = ln(x) at x = e?
