PRACTICE IDENTIFYING FUNCTION TYPE 
      
(interactive self-test)
Suggestions for this self exam:
| [A] | Study the 6 rules for derivatives described in chapter 2. Each
             of these rules applies to a particular "type" of function,
             so you must identify the "type" of your function before
             choosing a rule to differentiate it. | 
| [B] | For each function below, click on the
             left-most button naming it's type,
             but DO NOT move the mouse around while you think:
             that is cheating. |
