  1. Determine the limit. lim x→∞

3 x^3 + 9x + 2 2 x^3 + 7 + ex

  1. (i) Find a formula for the line that goes through the points (2, 4) and (3, 7).

(ii) What happens to this function every time x increases by one unit?

(iii) What is the growth rate of this function?

  1. Consider the function f (x) = 6x + 8.

(i) Calculate f (x + 1) − f (x).

(ii) Is this growth rate of f (x) variable or constant?

  1. Let g(x) = aerx.

(i) Would you expect the growth rate of g(x) to be constant or variable?

(ii) Would you expect the percent growth rate of g(x) to be constant or variable?

  1. Use the limit definition of the derivative

f ′(x) = lim h→ 0

f (x + h) − f (x) h

to find f ′(x) for f (x) = x^2 + 5x + 1.

  1. Let f (x) = cos(4esin(x (^2) ) ). Find f ′(x). You may use the rules for taking derivatives. You are NOT required to use the limit definition.
  2. Let g(x) = ex(sin x)(x^4 + 5x + 1). Find g′(x). You may use the rules for taking derivatives. You are NOT required to use the limit definition.
  1. Here are the graphs of three functions, p(x), q(x), and r(x).

Determine which of the graphs below is the derivative of each.

  • p′(x) =
  • q′(x) =
  • r′(x) =
