Give an appropriate answer.Just prior to a gubernatorial election, a survey of 1000 likely voters is conducted to determine the level of support for the Democrat and Republican candidates for governor. The results are as follows: 38% favor the Democrat candidate, 23% prefer the Republican candidate, and 39% are undecided. Based on these results, and assuming that the survey was unbiased, would you feel comfortable concluding that the Democrat candidate will win the election? Explain.
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary. One possibility is: I would not be comfortable claiming a Democrat victory because so many people in the survey are undecided.

y = xy = 2x
A. Since limx?0+ f '(x) = 2 while limx?0- f '(x) = 1, f(x) is not differentiable at x = 0. B. Since limx?0+ f '(x) = -2 while limx?0- f '(x) = -1, f(x) is not differentiable at x = 0. C. Since limx?0+ f '(x) = 1 while limx?0- f '(x) = 2, f(x) is not differentiable at x = 0. D. Since limx?0+ f '(x) = 1 while limx?0- f '(x) = 1, f(x) is differentiable at x = 0.
