Directions: Answers should be on a separate piece of paper. You must show all
work. If you need to look up a formula please indicate that on the paper.
Answers do not need to be simplified.
1. Use the limit definition of the derivative to find the derivative of

x3 .

sin ( x 3 )
2ln ( x 24 x ) .

2. Find the derivative of

3. A plane passes directly over an observer at a constant altitude of 10 km. The

plane is traveling at the constant velocity of 500 km /hr. The observer
continues to watch the plane as it flies. 15 minutes after the plane passes
overhead, what will the rate of change of the angle between the observers
line of sight and the ground be?
4. Find the critical points of the following function and identify whether they are
minimums, maximums, or neither. Find the inflection points and the intervals
on which the function is increasing, decreasing, concave up, and concave
down, and sketch the graph.

f ( x )=(x2 4)(x +1)

8. Find the work (J) required to pump all the water out of a conical tank 5m high
with a radius of 2m. The water level is 1m from the top of the tank. Assume
that the density of water is 1000kg/m3. You may use a calculator to compute
the integral after it has been set up.
