Get started for freeFind the derivatives of the functions in Exercises 21–46. Keep in mind that it may be convenient to do some preliminary algebra before differentiating.
For each function and interval localid="1648297458718" in Exercises localid="1648297462718" , use the Intermediate Value Theorem to argue that the function must have at least one real root on localid="1648297466951" . Then apply Newton’s method to approximate that root.

Suppose h(t) represents the average height, in feet, of a person who is t years old.
(a) In real-world terms, what does h(12) represent and what are its units? What does h' (12) represent, and what are its units?
(b) Is h(12) positive or negative, and why? Is h'(12) positive or negative, and why?
(c) At approximately what value of t would h(t) have a maximum, and why? At approximately what value of t would h' (t) have a maximum, and why?
