8. a. Letting f(a) 5 a3 2 b3, f(b) 5 b3 2 b3
50
So b is a root of f (a), and so by the factor theorem,
a 2 b is a factor of a3 2 b3. Polynomial long
division provides the other factor:
a2 1 ab 1 b2
a 2 bq a3 1 0a2 1 0a 2 b3
a3 2 a2b
a2b 1 0a 2 b3
a2b 2 ab2
ab2 2 b3
ab2 2 b3
0
So a3 2 b3 5 (a 2 b)(a2 1 ab 1 b2 ).
b. Using long division or recognizing a pattern from
the work in part a.:
a5 2 b5 5 (a 2 b)(a4 1 a3b 1 a2b2 1 ab3 1 b4 ).
c. Using long division or recognizing a pattern from
the work in part a.: a7 2 b7
5 (a 2 b)(a6 1 a5b 1 a4b2 1 a3b3
1 a2b4 1 ab5 1 b6 ).
d. Using the pattern from the previous parts:
an 2 bn 5 (a 2 b)(an21 1 an22b 1 an23b2 1 c
1 a2bn23 1 abn22 1 bn21 ).

2.1 The Derivative Function, pp. 7375

1. A function is not differentiable at a point where its
graph has a cusp, a discontinuity, or a vertical tangent:
a. The graph has a cusp at x 5 22, so f is
differentiable on 5xPR Z x 2 226.
b. The graph is discontinuous at x 5 2, so f is
differentiable on 5xPR Z x 2 26.
c. The graph has no cusps, discontinuities, or
vertical tangents, so f is differentiable on 5xPR6.
d. The graph has a cusp at x 5 1, so f is
differentiable on 5xPR Z x 2 16.
e. The graph has no cusps, discontinuities, or
vertical tangents, so f is differentiable on 5xPR6.
f. The function does not exist for x , 2, but has
no cusps, discontinuities, or vertical tangents
elsewhere, so f is differentiable on 5xPR Z x . 26.
2. The derivative of a function represents the slope of
the tangent line at a given value of the independent
variable or the instantaneous rate of change of the
function at a given value of the independent variable.

the tangent is
y 2 a2 5 (2a)(x 2 a)
y 5 (2a)x 2 a2
Suppose the tangent passes through (1, 23).
Substitute x 5 1 and y 5 23 into the equation of
the tangent:

a 2 2a 2 3 5 0
(a 2 3)(a 1 1) 5 0

function will have the form f(x) 5 ax3 1 bx2 1

3. In the previous problem, all of these rational

examples could be differentiated via the power rule
after a minor algebraic simplification.
A second approach would be to rewrite a rational
example
f(x)
h(x) 5
g(x)
using the exponent rules as
h(x) 5 f(x)(g(x))21,
and then apply the product rule for differentiation
(together with the power of a function rule to find
hr(x).
A third (and perhaps easiest) approach would be to
just apply the quotient rule to find hr(x).

At the point (1, 3), x 5 1 and the slope of the
tangent will be 3(1 1 1 2 2)2 (2 1 1) 5 0.
Equation of the tangent at (1, 3) is y 2 3 5 0.
Solving this equation with the function, we have
Ax2 1 x 2 2B 3 1 3 5 3
(x 1 2)3 (x 2 1)3 5 0
x 5 22 or x 5 1
Since 22 and 1 are both triple roots, the line with
equation y 2 3 5 0 will be a tangent at both x 5 1
and x 5 22. Therefore, y 2 3 5 0 is also a tangent
at (22, 3).

1. To find the derivative f r(x), the limit
f(x 1 h) 2 f(x)
f r(x) 5 lim

must be computed, provided it exists. If this limit
does not exist, then the derivative of f (x) does not

exist at this particular value of x. As an alternative

to this limit, we could also find f r(x) from the
definition by computing the equivalent limit
f(z) 2 f(x)

1. You need to use the chain rule when the derivative
for a given function cannot be found using the sum,
difference, product, or quotient rules or when writing
the function in a form that would allow the use of
these rules is tedious. The chain rule is used when
a given function is a composition of two or more
functions.
2. f is the blue graph (it's a cubic). f' is the red graph
(it is quadratic). The derivative of a polynomial
function has degree one less than the derivative of
the function. Since the red graph is a quadratic
(degree 2) and the blue graph is cubic (degree 3),
the blue graph is f and the red graph is f r.

2.1 The Derivative Function, pp. 7375

1. A function is not differentiable at a point where its
graph has a cusp, a discontinuity, or a vertical tangent:
a. The graph has a cusp at x 5 22, so f is
differentiable on 5xPR Z x 2 226.
b. The graph is discontinuous at x 5 2, so f is
differentiable on 5xPR Z x 2 26.
c. The graph has no cusps, discontinuities, or
vertical tangents, so f is differentiable on 5xPR6.
d. The graph has a cusp at x 5 1, so f is
differentiable on 5xPR Z x 2 16.
e. The graph has no cusps, discontinuities, or
vertical tangents, so f is differentiable on 5xPR6.
f. The function does not exist for x , 2, but has
no cusps, discontinuities, or vertical tangents
elsewhere, so f is differentiable on 5xPR Z x . 26.
2. The derivative of a function represents the slope of
the tangent line at a given value of the independent
variable or the instantaneous rate of change of the
function at a given value of the independent variable.

Let (a, a2 ) be a point of tangency. The equation of
the tangent is
y 2 a2 5 (2a)(x 2 a)
y 5 (2a)x 2 a2
Suppose the tangent passes through (1, 23).
Substitute x 5 1 and y 5 23 into the equation of
the tangent:

a 2 2a 2 3 5 0
(a 2 3)(a 1 1) 5 0

zero, meaning that the rate of change of the value
of the function with respect to the domain is zero.
These points are also local maximum or minimum

3. It is not appropriate or necessary to use the product

rule when one of the factors is a constant or when it
would be easier to first determine the product of the
factors and then use other rules to determine the
derivative. For example, it would not be best to
use the product rule for f(x) 5 3Ax2 1 1B or
g(x) 5 (x 1 1) (x 2 1).

function will have the form f(x) 5 ax3 1 bx2 1
cx 1 d, a 2 0. So the derivative of this cubic is
f r(x) 5 3ax2 1 2bx 1 c, and since 3a 2 0, this
derivative is a quadratic polynomial function. For
example, if f(x) 5 x3 1 x2 1 1,

3. In the previous problem, all of these rational

examples could be differentiated via the power rule
after a minor algebraic simplification.
A second approach would be to rewrite a rational
example
f(x)
h(x) 5
g(x)
using the exponent rules as
h(x) 5 f(x)(g(x))21,
and then apply the product rule for differentiation
(together with the power of a function rule to find
hr(x).
A third (and perhaps easiest) approach would be to
just apply the quotient rule to find hr(x).

At the point (1, 3), x 5 1 and the slope of the
tangent will be 3(1 1 1 2 2)2 (2 1 1) 5 0.
Equation of the tangent at (1, 3) is y 2 3 5 0.
Solving this equation with the function, we have
Ax2 1 x 2 2B 3 1 3 5 3
(x 1 2)3 (x 2 1)3 5 0
x 5 22 or x 5 1
Since 22 and 1 are both triple roots, the line with
equation y 2 3 5 0 will be a tangent at both x 5 1
and x 5 22. Therefore, y 2 3 5 0 is also a tangent
at (22, 3).

1. You need to use the chain rule when the derivative
for a given function cannot be found using the sum,
difference, product, or quotient rules or when writing
the function in a form that would allow the use of
these rules is tedious. The chain rule is used when
a given function is a composition of two or more
functions.
2. f is the blue graph (it's a cubic). f' is the red graph
(it is quadratic). The derivative of a polynomial
function has degree one less than the derivative of
the function. Since the red graph is a quadratic
(degree 2) and the blue graph is cubic (degree 3),
the blue graph is f and the red graph is f r.

50
So b is a root of f (a), and so by the factor theorem,
a 2 b is a factor of a3 2 b3. Polynomial long
division provides the other factor:
a2 1 ab 1 b2
a 2 bq a3 1 0a2 1 0a 2 b3
a3 2 a2b
a2b 1 0a 2 b3
a2b 2 ab2
ab2 2 b3

So a3 2 b3 5 (a 2 b)(a2 1 ab 1 b2 ).

2.1 The Derivative Function, pp. 7375

1. A function is not differentiable at a point where its
graph has a cusp, a discontinuity, or a vertical tangent:
a. The graph has a cusp at x 5 22, so f is
differentiable on 5xPR Z x 2 226.
b. The graph is discontinuous at x 5 2, so f is
differentiable on 5xPR Z x 2 26.
c. The graph has no cusps, discontinuities, or
vertical tangents, so f is differentiable on 5xPR6.
d. The graph has a cusp at x 5 1, so f is
differentiable on 5xPR Z x 2 16.
e. The graph has no cusps, discontinuities, or
vertical tangents, so f is differentiable on 5xPR6.
f. The function does not exist for x , 2, but has
no cusps, discontinuities, or vertical tangents
elsewhere, so f is differentiable on 5xPR Z x . 26.
2. The derivative of a function represents the slope of
the tangent line at a given value of the independent
variable or the instantaneous rate of change of the
function at a given value of the independent variable.

3. It is not appropriate or necessary to use the product

rule when one of the factors is a constant or when it
would be easier to first determine the product of the
factors and then use other rules to determine the
derivative. For example, it would not be best to
use the product rule for f(x) 5 3Ax2 1 1B or

14. This statement is always true. A cubic polynomial
function will have the form f(x) 5 ax3 1 bx2 1
cx 1 d, a 2 0. So the derivative of this cubic is
f r(x) 5 3ax2 1 2bx 1 c, and since 3a 2 0, this
derivative is a quadratic polynomial function. For
example, if f(x) 5 x3 1 x2 1 1,
we get
f r(x) 5 3x2 1 2x,

3. In the previous problem, all of these rational

examples could be differentiated via the power rule
after a minor algebraic simplification.
A second approach would be to rewrite a rational
example
f(x)
h(x) 5
g(x)
using the exponent rules as
h(x) 5 f(x)(g(x))21,
and then apply the product rule for differentiation
(together with the power of a function rule to find
hr(x).
A third (and perhaps easiest) approach would be to
just apply the quotient rule to find hr(x).

1. You need to use the chain rule when the derivative
for a given function cannot be found using the sum,
difference, product, or quotient rules or when writing
the function in a form that would allow the use of
these rules is tedious. The chain rule is used when
a given function is a composition of two or more
functions.
2. f is the blue graph (it's a cubic). f' is the red graph
(it is quadratic). The derivative of a polynomial
function has degree one less than the derivative of
the function. Since the red graph is a quadratic
(degree 2) and the blue graph is cubic (degree 3),
the blue graph is f and the red graph is f r.
