Name: ______________________ Roll #: _____ Score: _______/100

Work each problem in the space provided on the exam page. Full or partial credit will be given only if all work has been shown and the answers are clearly indicated. Each numbered problem is worth 10 points. 1. Classify each of the following statements as true (T) or false (F). _____ _____ _____ _____ _____ a) The derivative b)
dP gives the rate at which P is changing with respect to t. dt

d [cosh 2] = sinh 2 dx

c) A function defined on a closed interval must have an absolute maximum. d) If f (c) = 0 then f has an extreme value at x = c . e) If f (x) > 0 for all x in I, then the graph of f is concave upward on I.

2. Find the derivative of each function and simplify. Show all steps. a)

f (x) = sin ecos x

b)

g(x) =

1 x + x6

3. Find a)

d2y dx 2

(the second derivative) for each function and simplify. Show all steps.

y=

x +1 x

b)

y = x sinh x

5. Use the Extreme Value Theorem to determine the absolute maximum and minimum values of
f (x) = 3x1 3 6x 4 3 on the interval [1, 1]. Show all steps.

6. The graph of the first derivative f of a function of a continuous function f is shown. State the x-coordinates of any local extrema for the graph of f. Identify the type of extrema and give reasons for your answers. NOTE: The graph of the derivative, not the function, is shown.

10. Oil from an offshore platform (P) located 3 km from the shore is to be pumped to a location (L) on the edge of the shore that is 8 km east of the platform. The cost of constructing a pipe in the ocean from the platform to the shore is 2.5 times as expensive as the cost of construction on land. Determine the location of point Q relative to point S that minimizes the cost of the laying the pipe.
