1. [8] Start with the graph of a basic function to sketch the graph of the following function:
! = −2 sin(3* + ,)
Explain each transformation in words and with an accurate graph.

(a) Find the domain of . and the domain of 2.

(b) Evaluate .(2(2)) and 2(.(0)).

(c) Determine the domain of the composition .∘ 2 (where (.∘ 2)(*) = .(2(*))).

or −∞.

4. [4] The piecewise function f is defined as follows:

L* 1 , if * < 3
.(* ) = K12* , where L is a constant.
, if 3 ≤ *
L

Determine all possible values of L that will make . continuous at x = 3

5. [10] (a) Use the definition of the derivative to find .′(Z) where the function . is given by
.(* ) = 3* 1 − 2* + 1

(b) Find the equation of the tangent line to the curve ! = 3* 1 − 2* + 1 when * = 1.

8.[6] A 10 ft long ladder leans against a wall and begins to slide down the wall. If the top of
the ladder is sliding down the wall at a rate of 2 ft/sec, how fast is the angle between the ladder
and the ground decreasing when the top of the ladder is 6 ft above the ground?
