1. This summarizes the key points from an exam for a math course. It covers limits, derivatives, chain rule applications, and optimization problems involving trigonometric, logarithmic, and exponential functions. 2. Questions involve calculating limits, derivatives, critical points, concavity, and using derivatives to find relative and absolute extrema. Chain rule and implicit differentiation are applied. 3. Optimization problems involve finding minimum distances traveled given functional relationships between variables.

3. By the Chain Rule, g ′ (x) = f ′ (f (x)) · f ′ (x) and h′ (x) = 2f (x)f ′ (x).

(a) f ′ (2.5) = −1.


(b) g ′ (5) = f ′ (f (5)) · f ′ (5) = f ′ (0) · 1

= − 12 .
(c) g ′ (x) ̸= 0 because f ′ (x) ̸= 0 for any x. Since, f ′ (3) is not defined, g ′ is not defined
when x = 3 or f (x) = 3. So the three critical points of g where g ′ is not defined are:
x = 3, −1, 11. g is differentiable everywhere else.
g(x) LH g ′ (x)
(d) lim = lim = g ′ (0) = f ′ (f (0)) · f ′ (0) = −1 · −1 = 1.
x→0 x x→0 1
(e) h′ (x) > 0 when both f, f ′ are positive or both are negative: (2, 3) and (5, ∞).

4. (a) 12·1 = 11 = 1
(b) ln y = ln x2y = 2y ln x

WHen x = y = 1,

Tangent line is y − 1 = 2(x − 1) so the approximations is y − 1 ≈ 2(1.05 − 1), so y ≈ 1.1.
(c) Second derivative:
y ′′ y − y ′ y ′ ′′ ′ 1 2y ′ x − 2y

When x = y = 1, y ′ = 2,

so y = 10 > 0, the curve is concave up and we have an underestimate.

6. We know ds dt

.Since tan θ = x/60 and s = 50θ the

When Retta is 35m from wall, θ = π/3 and s = 50π/3 so

7. There are several ways to find the distance s he swims from


A to B. Using Law of Cosines with the triangle AOB:

s2 = 1202 + 1202 − 2 · 120 · 120 · cos(π − θ) = 1202 (2 + 2 cos θ)

Using the right triangle ABD:

s2 = (120 sin θ)2 + (120 + 120 cos θ)2 = 1202 (2 + 2 cos θ)

Using the right triangle ABC :


s = 240 cos(θ/2)
Using the right triangle AED:
s = 2 · 120 cos(θ/2).
So you use one of
√
120 2 + 2 cos θ 120θ 240 cos(θ/2) 120θ
f (θ) = + or g(θ) = +
6 2 6 2
with 0 ≤ θ ≤ π. The critical number is θ = π/3, but the minimum happens at the endpoint
θ = π, so he should run and not get wet at all (which he prefers).
8. Consider the function f (x) = − 16 x2 + x − 23 ln x.
(a) x > 0 (because of ln x)
(b) Vertical x = 0 (because of ln x). No horizontal since limx→∞ f (x) = ∞.

(c) f ′ (x) = − x + 1 − =− . CN: x = 1, 2.(x = 0 in not a CN because it is

not in the domain.)
(d) f (x) is increasing on (1, 2) and decreasing on (0, 1) and (2, ∞).
(e) Min at x = 1 with point approximately (1, 0.83). Max at x = 2 with point approximately
