1. Without using L’Höpital’s rule, evaluate

p
3
1 + cx 1

lim ,
x!0 x

where c is a real constant. [Hint: Consider the change of variable t = 3

1 + cx.]

[10 pts]

2. Consider the function f (x) = (x ⇡)|x ⇡|.

(a) Is f (x) di↵erentiable at x = ⇡? If so, what is the value of f 0 (⇡). Explain your work.

[5 pts]

(b) Find a formula for f 0 (x).

[5 pts]

3. Consider the function f (x) = ln x

x .

(a) Determine the absolute maximum of f (x).

[5 pts]

⇡ e
(b) Use part (a) to show that e > ⇡ , where e = 2.7182.... is Euler’s number and the base of natural

logarithm, ln e = 1, and ⇡ = 3.1415... is the ratio of circumference to its diameter.

[5 pts]

4. (a) If y = x2 4x and x =
p
2t2 + 1, determine dy
when t =
p
2.

dt

[5 pts]

(b) If y 2 sin x + y = arctan x, determine y 0 .

[5 pts]
