Learning outcomes for this session At the end of this session, you should be able to 1. Dierentiate implicitly. 2. Use dierentials and linear approximations to estimate quantities. 3. Solve elementary optimization problems. 4. Use rst and second derivative information in sketching the graphs of functions.
g(x)

5. Dierentiate expressions of the form

f (t) dt.

6. Evaluate basic integrals. Overview We will work through and discuss exercises based on the lectures from Weeks 5 & 6. This includes a review of implicit dierentiation, elementary applications of derivatives, elementary integration and logarithmic & exponential functions.

Exercises All questions referring to a Section are from the textbook by Singh. 1. Exercise 6(g) (p. 304): 2(d)(D)&(e), 4(a)(D),(b)&(c). 2. (D) The circumference of a sphere was measured to be 10 cm with a possible error of 0.05 cm. Use dierentials to estimate the maximum error in the calculated surface area. 3. Use dierentials to estimate the amount of paint needed to cover a hemispherical dome 100 m in diameter to a thickness of 0.05 cm.

4. (D) Suppose a function g(x) satises g(2) = 4 and g (x) = Use a linear approximation to estimate the value of g(2.05). 5. Miscellaneous exercise 7 (p. 356): 4, 6(D), 9(D), 10.

6. (D) Find the absolute maximum and absolute minimum values of f (x) = x3 + 3x2 9x + 2 on (a) the interval [4, 2]. (b) the interval [6, 4]. 7. Miscellaneous exercise 8 (p. 420): 1, 4(D), 6, 16(D) (work out P only). 8. (D) Find the derivatives of
