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.

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 f › x 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 f › x fi = 2 x^2 + 1, a = 1, b = 3, N = 100, A x = bN? a.

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