Problem 1. Differentiate the following functions. You Do Not Need to Simplify Your
Answers
(a) (4 pt)
y = xsinh( x2 )

(b) (4 pt)

g( x) = cosh( e

tan(3x)

(c) (4 pt)
y = ( cos( x))2x

(d) (4 pt)
y=

(2 x 1)(4 x)
( x + 2)2

(e) (4 pt) Calculate d y/dx


xe y = sin( x)

(f) (4 pt) Calculate d 2 y/ dx2


y = arcsin( x2 )

Problem 2. (8 pt) Use linearization (or differentials) to approximate

p

8.1.

Problem 3. (10 pt) A spherical snowball melts so that the surface area decreases at a rate of
cm2
. Find the rate at which the diameter decreases when d = 10 cm. (Hint: Surface Area of
1 min
a sphere = 4 r 2 )

Problem 4. (10 pt) Find the critical points of the given function and use them to determine
the absolute maximum value for f ( x) = 3 x( x + 4)2/3 on the interval [5, 1]. (I am not asking the
absolute minimum as the function evaluations may be challenging for you without a calculator.
It should be clear which is the maximum.)

Problem 5. Given the function


f ( x) =

( x 1)2
( x + 2)( x 4)

and its derivatives:


f 0 ( x) =

18(1 x)
( x + 2)2 ( x 4)2

and

f 00 ( x) =

54( x2 2 x + 4)
( x + 2)3 ( x 4)3

a) (4 pt) Find all Horizontal and Vertical Asymptotes if any:

b) (5 pt) Determine on what intervals f ( x) is increasing/decreasing and identify all local maximum and minimum if any.

c) (5 pt) Determine on what intervals f ( x) is concave up/concave down and identify all inflection
points if any.

d) (4 pt) Use the axes below to sketch the graph of f ( x):
