Figure 2.7: Derivatives at endpoints are one-sided limits.

Figure 2.9: We made the graph of y´ = ƒ´(x) in (b) by plotting slopes from the graph of y = f (x) in (a). The vertical coordinate of B´ is the slope at B and so on. The graph of y = f ´(x) is a visual record of how the slope of f changes with x.

Figure 2. 18: (a) The rock in Example 5 Figure 2.18: (a) The rock in Example 5. (b) The graphs of s and v as functions of time; s is largest when v = ds/dt = 0. The graph of s is not the path of the rock: It is a plot of height versus time. The slope of the plot is the rock’s velocity graphed here as a straight line.

Figure 25: The curve y´ = –sin x as the graph of the slopes of the tangents to the curve y = cos x.

Figure 28: When gear A makes x turns, gear B makes u turns and gear C makes y turns. By comparing circumferences or counting teeth, we see that y = u/2 and u = 3x, so y = 3x/2. Thus, dy/du = 1/2, du/dx = 3, and dy/dx = 3/2 = (dy/du)(du/dx).

Figure 31: sin (x°) oscillates only /180 times as often as x oscillates. Its maximum slope is /180. (Example 9)

Figure 2. 39: The graph of y2 = x2 + sin xy in Example 2 Figure 2.39: The graph of y2 = x2 + sin xy in Example 2. The example shows how to find slopes on this implicitly defined curve.

Figure 2.40: Example 3 shows how to find equations for the tangent and normal to the curve at (2, 4).
