Question Maximum Score

Total 40

[3] 1. (a) Compute f ′(x) if f (x) = (x^5 − 2 x^3 + 4)^7. You do not need to simplify your answer.

[3] (b) Compute g′(x) if g(x) =

cos x 1 + x^2

. You do not need to simplify your answer.

[3] (e) Find f ′(x) if it is known that

d dx

[f (2x)] = x^2.

2. True or False. If True provide an explanation, if False give justification (for instance

give an example for which the statement doesn’t hold).

[2] (a) If y = e^3 then y′^ = 3e^2.

[2] (b) If f is continuous at x = a then f is differentiable at x = a.

[2] (c) If f (x) =

2 x^3 + 5x − 1 4 x^3 − x^2 + 6x − 2

, then y = 12 is a horizontal asymptote.

[2] (d) If f (x) is an even function then f ′(x) is also an even function.

4. A particle moves on a horizontal line so that its coordinate at time t is

x(t) = t^3 − 12 t + 3, t ≥ 0.

[4] (a) Find the velocity and acceleration functions.

[2] (b) Determine when the particle is moving to the left and when it is moving to the right.

[1] (c) Determine when the particle is speeding up.
