Click For Summary
To graph the function y = x^(2/3) without a calculator, one can use first and second derivative tests to determine the general shape of the graph. Plotting a few key points will help illustrate the curve's behavior. The function is even, indicating symmetry about the y-axis. The graph approaches the origin but does not have a defined slope at that point. Understanding these characteristics will aid in accurately sketching the graph.

Is that supposed to be x2/3? You could do the first and second derivative tests to get a general shape of the graph and then maybe plot a few points.
 
What is the graph of a function rachael?
 
Question: A clock's minute hand has length 4 and its hour hand has length 3. What is the distance between the tips at the moment when it is increasing most rapidly?(Putnam Exam Question) Answer: Making assumption that both the hands moves at constant angular velocities, the answer is ## \sqrt{7} .## But don't you think this assumption is somewhat doubtful and wrong?
