Calculus Problems: Intercepts, Intervals, Extrema, Concavity, Inflection, Asymptotes, Exams of Calculus

A set of midterm problems for students in calculus. The problems cover various topics including finding intercepts, determining increasing and decreasing intervals, identifying relative extrema, analyzing concavity and points of inflection, and evaluating integrals and finding areas. Students are encouraged to use their graphing calculators to verify their answers but must show the underlying calculus work. Problems also include approximating integrals using riemann sums and evaluating derivatives.

22M:025 Midterm II Sample Problems

In the following, you may use your graphing calculator to verify your conclusions, but you must show the underlying calculus done ”by hand”. 1. For the function fx fi = 4 x^3? 12 x^2 + 12 x + 1 determine the intercepts, the intervals in which the function is increasing, the intervals in which the function is decreasing, the relative extrema, the intervals in which the function is concave up, the intervals in which the function is concave down, the points of inflection, and any horizontal or vertical asymptotes. Use the information to graph the function. [Added Note: the intercepts don’t work out well on this one...] 2. Let fx fi = 2 x^2 + 1, a = 1, b = 3, N = 100, A x = bN? a.

a. Use your TI to approximate X 1

3 › 2 x^2 + 1 fi dx using both the right and left Riemann sums associated with the regular partition P = · a = x 0 , x 1 , u, x 100 = b ‚ and xi = a + i D A x. b. Use the indefinite integral and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus to find the exact value

of X 1

3 › 2 x^2 + 1 fi dx. 3. Evaluate the following:

a. X› x x + ex fi dx

b. X x x + 1 dx

4. Evaluate the following: a. The area of the region between the graph of fx fi = x^2 + 1 and the x ?axis on the interval fl?3, 3‡.

Also find the associated left Riemann sum RP fi. What if anything can be said about the relationship between

X a

b fx fi dx , then it is reasonable to think of c as the average value of fx fi on the interval fl a , b ‡. For example, if st fi denotes the distance traveled at time t , and vt fi the velocity

at time t , then s v› t fi = vt fi, so
