give an example for which the statement doesn’t hold).
[2] (a) If y = e^3 then y′^ = 3e^2.
[2] (b) If f is continuous at x = a then f is differentiable at x = a.
[2] (c) If f (x) =
2 x^3 + 5x − 1 4 x^3 − x^2 + 6x − 2
, then y = 12 is a horizontal asymptote.
[2] (d) If f (x) is an even function then f ′(x) is also an even function.
x(t) = t^3 − 12 t + 3, t ≥ 0.
