Section 1: “Pencil and Paper” Problems You have thirty minutes to work on this section. Calculators are not allowed. You do not need to simplify your answers.

In Problems 1 - 4, evaluate the limits (5 points each).

  1. lim x→ 3

x^2 − 6 x + 9 x^2 − 9

  1. lim x→∞

6 x^2 + 9 4 x^3 + 9

  1. lim x→ 0

sin

4 x

4 x

  1. lim θ→ 0

sin 3θ tan 2θ

In Problems 5 - 10, find dydx. Do not simplify your answers.

  1. (5 pts.) y =

sin x x

  1. (5 pts.) y =

x^3

x^5

  1. (5 pts.) y =

x sin x

  1. (5 pts.) y =

x + 1 x^2 + 1

  1. (6 pts.) y = cos(x^2 ) + cos^2 (x)
  2. (7 pts.) y = cos(tan(x^2 + 1))
  1. (10 points) A 13 foot ladder is leaning against a house when its base starts to slide away from the house. By the time the base of the ladder is 12 feet away from the house, the base of the ladder is moving at a rate of 5 feet/second. At that instant, how fast is the top of the ladder sliding down the house?
  2. (7 points) Use differentials to approximate
  1. (10 points) Find two positive numbers so that the sum of the first and twice the second is 100 and their product is a maximum.
