(1) In this problem,  f(x) = 2/x.

(a) Use the limit definition of the derivative to find f ' (x).

 

 

 




(b) Using your answer from part a above, find the slope of the tangent to the graph of y = f(x) at the point (2, 1).  (You should not need to use a limit to do this part.)

 




(2)  The graph of a function  f (x)  is sketched below. Using the same coordinate axis,  sketch a graph of the derivative f '(x).
