Fall 2014 UMBC Prof Graf

NAME:

This practice exam is meant to be taken as if it were the actual exam. You should have studied
the material before taking this practice exam. Find a quite area and take the exam without a
calculator, textbook, or notes. Time yourself as you complete the exam. It should take no more
than 75 min. Please bring your completed exam to class on Tuesday.

Problem 1. Differentiate the following functions. You Do Not Need to Simplify Your
Answers
(a)
2
f (x) = ex arcsin(2x)

(b)
g(x) = (sinh(3x) 8x )4

(c)
y = (ln(x))x

(d)
y = ei + 1

(e) Calculate dy/dx

xe2y = xln(y)

(f) Calculate d2 y/dx2

y = arccos(x4 )

Problem 2. Find the linearization of the function f (x) =

approximate 6.88.

x 3 at a = 7 and use it to

Problem 3. If two resistors with resistances R1 and R2 are connected in parallel (circuit) then
the total resistance R measured in ohms () is given by R = R11 + R12 . If R1 and R2 are increasing
as rates of 0.3 /s and 0.2 /s, respectively, how fast is total resistance, R, changing when
R1 = 80 and R2 = 100 .

Problem 4. Determine the absolute maximum and minimum values for f (x) = x1/3 (x + 4) on
the interval [4, 8].

Problem 5. Given the function f (x) = x5 + 52 x4 + 40

x3 1:
3
a) (4 pts) Find all Horizontal and Vertical Asymptotes if any:

b) Determine on what intervals f (x) is increasing/decreasing and identify all local maximum and
minimum if any.

c) Determine on what intervals f (x) is concave up/concave down and identify all inflection points
if any.

d) Use the axes below to sketch the graph of f (x):
