Homework due 9/23/08

Do problems on page 78 - 80; # 2 and 24.

Note:
Number 2 should seem familiar in that it deals with similar ideas to the previous homework assignment. Number 24, however, is now asking for estimates of two instantaneous rates of change on an exponential function. You will be using the difference quotient here and I suggest trying values of h (the change in t) that are closer and closer to zero. Don't just do one calculation, do a few, say h=0.1, 0.01, 0.0001, and see what the value is converging to in each case.
