PART I
You must simplify your answer when possible but you don’t need to com-
pute numbers: e6 sin(12/5) + 8 is a fine answer.
All problems in Part I are 4 points each.
1. Use the definition of the derivative to show that the derivative of the function
y = f (x) = x2 is f 0 (x) = 2x.

2. Find the derivative f 0 (x) if f (x) = x2 sin(x).

3. Find the derivative f 0 (x) if f (x) = ln(x3 + x2 + 1).
