Please, work out 65 in step by step fashion.
Also, I would like for you to create YOUR OWN questions 64 and 65 involving "easy" functions (functions other than piecewise functions) for me to do this weekend. We end Section 2.8 and Chapter 2 here.
 
a.
look at derivative of each piece

(d/dx)(0) =0 , x<=0
(d/dx)(5-x)=-1 , 0<x<4.........................as a->4 from the left => f -'(a)=-1
(d/dx)(1/(5-x)) = 1/(5 - x)^2 , x>=4.........as a->4 from the right => f +'(a)=1

c. discontinuous at x=0 and x=4
d. at x=4 is not differentiable

I will need to read this over a few more times.
