1a. Compute cos(sin−^1 ( 15 )).
1.b Compute log 2 8.
1c. Consider the following diagram in the Cartesian plane:
Why is this the graph of a function?
What is the domain of this function?
What is the range of this function?
Is this function invertible? Why or why not?
4a. What is the definition of the derivative of a function f (x) at a?
4b. Use the definition of the derivative to show the derivative of f (x) = x^2 + 2x + 1 is 2 x + 2.
4c. Compute the derivative of f (x) = 2 x
(^2) +2x+ x by any means we’ve covered in class.
5a. List the points A, B, C and D in order of increasing slope of the tangent line.
5b. (HW) Give the equation of the tangent line to f (x) = 4
x − 2 x at the point (4, 0).
Suppose a state’s income tax code states the tax liability on x dollars of taxable income is given by
T (x) =
Compute limx→ 0 + T (x) and limx→ 10 , 000 T (x) (be sure to explain your result). Why is this bad?
A metal washer of (outer) radius r inches weighs 2r^3 ounces. A company manufactures 2-inch washers for different customers who have different error tolerances. If the customer demands a washer of weight 8 ± ǫ ounces, what is the error tolerance for the radius? That is, how close does the radius need to be to 2 inches to guarantee a weight within 8 ± ǫ ounces?
