4(-3) + (-1)(2)
Answer. A. -14
5. Find the total differential of 3x3 + 4x2y – 2y3.
Solution:
d(3x3 + 4x2y – 2y3) = (9x2 + 8x) dx
d(3x3 + 4x2y – 2y3) = (4y – 6x2) dy
Answer. B. (9x2 + 8x) dx + (4y – 6x2) dy
6. Find du/dt if u = x2 – 2xy + y2 , x = (t + 1)2 , y = (t – 1)2
Solution:
u = (x – y)2
u = [(t2 + 2t + 1) – (t2 – 2t +1)]2
u = 16t2
= 32t
Answer: A. 32t 7. Evaluate lim (x2 - 4)/(x – 2) as x approaches 2
Solution:
limx=2 [(x – 2)(x + 2)]/(x – 2)
= x+2
= 2 +2 = 4
Answer. A. 4
8.Evaluate lim x sin(pi/x) as x approaches to infinity.
Solution:
limx=∞ x sin (π /x) = limx=∞ [cos (π/x)][ π][(-1/x2)/(-1/x2)]
= [cos (π /∞)] [pi] = π
Answer. C. π
9. Evaluate limx=1 (2 – x) tan(pi x/2) .
Solution:
Let: y = (2 – x) tan(pi x/2)
ln y = ln (2 – x) tan(pi x/2)
= tan(pi x/2) ln(2 – x)
limx=1 ln y = limx=1 {[1/(2 – x)][-1]}/{[-csc2 (πx/2)][ π/2]}
ln y = 2/ π
y = e2/pi
Answer. A. e2/pi
