a. After looking closely at the problems and solutions presented in this activity, describe the patterns that you see emerge as you find the derivatives of simple functions like y=x2,y=x3, and y =∼1. (Hint - It might be helpful to remember that, although y=∼1 is written as a rational function, it can also be expressed as a power function. That is, it can be expressed in the form y=xn ) b. Using the patterns that you described in a), find the function that would produce a derivative of y=x. Prove your results. a. Find an expression for the instantaneous rate of change of distance with respect to time (velocity) of a falling object if s=−4.9t2 (where s is distance (meters) and t is time (seconds)). (Ignore the effect of air resistance) b. Use your answer for a) to find the velocity at the times listed on the table below.
