I. MULTIPLE CHOICE. From the list of choices, write the CAPITAL LETTER of the correct answer for a
given question. For computations, round off your answers up to two decimal places in choosing your
final answer.

1) A slope of 2 tells what idea about the behavior of the variables?

A. As x increases by 1, y increases C. As y increases by 1, x increases
by 2 by 2
B. As x increases by 1, y decreases D. As y increases by 1, x decreases
by 2 by 2
2) Which of the following defined as a line that touches at exactly one point on a curve?
A. Tangent Line C. Derivative
B. Secant Line D. Point of Tangency
3) Why does the formula of derivative have a h → 0?
A. It is the value of h C. There must be no distance
B. It is the limit of h between 2 points
D. It is constant
4) Which of the following has a slope of -5?
A. y=5 x−2 C. y=2 x−5
B. y=−5 x +2 D. y=−2 x +5

II. FILL IN THE BLANKS. On the space provided, supply the missing part of the solution that would
identify the derivative of each function.
f ( x +h )−f (x)
Solution: y’ = lim
h→ 0 h

6. y ' =lim 2 ( x +h )2 −¿ ¿ ¿
h →0 h
