3-28.
Write slope functions for the following functions:
Use the Power Rule. If
, then .
(Careful!) Remember that
is just a number, not a variable! Since
, what is the slope function of ? Use that to find the slope function of .
is a horizontal shift of , whose slope function is easy to find with the Power Rule (see hint in part (a)). As for , THINK! Since slopes will shift with the function... will equal a shifted version of .
See hint in part (a).
