1.)
Use a substitution to differentiate each function w.r.t to x:
a.) (3x + 1)2
b.) (4x 5)5
c.) (2 + 3x)7
(2x4 5)1/2
e.)

d.)

3 x 34

f.)

4x2

2.) Differentiate each function directly:

2 -1

3x )

a.) (4 2x)5 b.) (3x 4)7 c.) (1 2x2)3

f.) (x5 3)-1/2

d.) (2 + x3)3/4

e.) (2

3.) Using the product rule, differentiate each function w.r.t to x:

a.) x2(x 3)2

b.) (x + 2)(x 2)5

c.) (x + 1)2 (x 1)4

( x+ 5) 4
d.) (x3)

e.)

(2 x7)
x

f.) x(x + 3)-1

4.) Using the quotient rule, differentiate each function w.r.t to x:

e.)

( x3)
x

b.)

(x+1)5
x

5.) Find f

(x).

(4x )
x2

c.)

4x
3
(1x )

d.)

x5 /3
(3 x2)

a.) f(x) = (3x2 + 6) (2x -

1
4 )

b.) f(x) = (x3 + 7x2 8) ( 2x-3 + x- 4)

c.) f(x) = (x - 2) (x2 + 2x + 4)

d.) f(x) =

3 x +4
2
x +1

e.) f(x) =

x
3 x4

f.) f(x) =

( 2 x+ 1 ) ( x1)
x +3
6.) A function y = f(x) and values of x0 and x1 are given.
a.) Find the average rate of change of y with respect to x over the
interval [x0, x1].
b.) Find the instantaneous rate of change of y with respect to x at the
specified value of
x0.
(i) y = 2x2 ; x0 = 0, x1 = 1
x0 = 1, x1 = 2

(ii) y = 1/x ; x0 = 2, x1 = 3

(iii) y = x3 ;
