Initial Submission due Friday, November 8st by 11:59pm via Gradescope

Make sure to show all of your work and explain your reasoning clearly. Please list the names
of your collaborators at the top of your submission.

Exercise 1:
Di!erentiate the following functions.
! "! "
1 7 1 6 1 5 1 →3 1 →2
(a) f (x) = x + x + x → x → x
7 6 5 3 2
x101
(b) f (x) =
x100 + 1

Exercise 2:
Compute the following derivatives. Be sure to justify your answer.
(Hint: Compute the first few derivatives until you can see the pattern.)

Exercise 3:
For each function f (x) below, find the derivative f ↑ (x). Then, find all interval(s) on which
f (x) is continuous, and all interval(s) on which f (x) is di!erentiable.
↑
(a) f (x) = e2x → 1
 ! "
x2 cos 1 x ↓= 0
(b) f (x) = x

0 x=0

 x (+ 1) x ↓= 0
(c) f (x) = ln x2

0 x=0

Exercise 4:

(a) Determine the constant C such that eCx = 2x

d
(b) Using part (a), determine dx
(2x ).
d
(c) Using part (b) as a reference, determine dx
(ax ) for an arbitrary constant a > 0.
d
(d) Using parts (a), (b), and (c) as references, determine dx
(loga (x)) for an arbitrary
constant a > 0.

Exercise 5:
For each function f (x) below, find the linear approximation of f (x) at the given value x = a
and, using this approximation, approximate f (x) at the given value x = b. Then, use a
calculator to determine the actual value f (b), and compare it to the approximation.

(a) f (x) = 3x3 → 15x2 + 2x → 1, a = 3, b = 3.1

(b) f (x) = sin(x), a = 0, b = 0.1

(c) f (x) = x100 , a = 1, b = 1.1
