For each of the values in the table, determine whether
or not f'(a) exists. In particular, based on the given
graph, ask yourself if it is reasonable to say that f has
a tangent line at (a, f(a))for each of the given a
values. If so, visually estimate the slope of the tangent
line to find the value of f'(a). If not, then put DNE in
