Calculus 1 Exam, Test 2 - Derivatives and Tangent Lines, Exams of Calculus

Instructions and questions for a calculus 1 exam focusing on derivatives, continuity, differentiability, and tangent lines. Students are required to use first principles and rules for derivatives to calculate derivatives of various functions, explain the continuity and differentiability of a function at a point, and find equations of tangent lines. The document also includes a problem on approximating a value using differentials.

(b) A water tank has a shape of an inverted circular cone with base radius 2m and height 4m. If water is being pumped into the tank at a rate of 2m^3 jmin, find the rate at which the water level is rising when the water is 3m deep. The volume V of such "a cone is V = l1l"r^2 h, where h is height and r is radius.

(c) Use differentials to approximate yI4.2.

Question t1-(40)

Let

2x^2

f(x) = x2 -

Showing all your calculations, find the domain of f, the y intercepts of f, all

asymptotes, all critical points, all axes of symmetry. Also show all points where

f changes its montonicity and concavity and explain your answer carefully.

GOOD LUCK!!
