Part I: Fill in the blank or circle T/F
(b) If f (x) = x^2 , and x 0 = 1, then Newtonโs method for solving f (x) = 0 gives us x 1 =
(c) ( T / F ) If f โฒโฒ(x) exists on [a, b], then f (x) is continuous on [a, b]
(d) The mean value theorem states that if f is differentiable on [a, b], then there is a c in (a, b) with
f โฒ(c) = f (b) โ f (a) b โ a
(e) The limit lim xโ3+

Part III: Written Solutions
For problems 9 - 18, write your answers in the space provided. Neatly show your work for full credit.
i. f (x) is defined at x = 1 ii. lim xโ 1 f (x) exists and is equal to f (1).
(b) At which points does the function
f (x) =
x + 4 (x + 2)(x โ 3)
fail to be continuous? At which points, if any, are the discontinuities removable? not removable? Give reasons for your answers.
The function f is not defined for all x < โ4 and at x = โ 2 , 3 and thus discontinuous at these points. All the discontinuous points are not removable because at these points the limit of f does not exist.
(a) f (x) = xฯ^ + sec(tan x) Applying power rule and chain rule, and recalling that
(sec x)โฒ^ = sec x tan x, (tan x)โฒ^ = sec^2 x,
f โฒ(x) = ฯ xฯโ^1 + sec(tan x) tan(tan x) sec^2 x
(b) g(x) =
x^2 + 1 x^2 โ 1
Applying chain rule and quotient rule
gโฒ(x) =
x^2 + 1 x^2 โ 1
x^2 + 1 x^2 โ 1
x^2 + 1 x^2 โ 1
โ 4 x (x^2 โ 1)^2

f โฒ(x) = ex^ cos (x) โ ex^ sin (x) โ f โฒ(ฯ) = โeฯ so the equation for the tangent line at the point (ฯ, โeฯ) is given by
y + eฯ^ = โeฯ(x โ ฯ) or y = โeฯx + (ฯ โ 1)eฯ
Let x the side of the square. Then the rate of increase of the area A = x^2 is given by
dA dt
in^2 /s. Now dA dt = 2x dx dt
dx dt
x The length of the diagonal is `(x) =
2 x, so the rate of increase of the diagonal is
d` dt
dx dt
x Hence when the side of the square is 6 in, the diagonal is increasing at a rate of
d` dt

Determine the value f (0). State any theorem you used to find your answer.
As lim xโ 0

and lim xโ 0 2 + x 4 โ
x + 4
= lim xโ 0 2 + x(4 +
x + 4) 16 โ (x + 4)
so by the squeeze play or comparison limit theorem,
xlimโ 0 f^ (x) = 2. Since f (x) is continuous , so f (0) = 2.

find all intervals of monotonicity, all intervals of concavity, all inflection points, all relative extrema and all global extrema if possible.
