Calculus - Derivatives by Tables - 30 points - Solutions

x 2 3 4 9
f ( x) π/3 3 9 4
f "( x ) 7 π/4 π/2 -3
g( x ) 5 4 -3 2
! g"( x ) -4 9 π π/2
!
For each problem, find
! the requested information. Show your steps. Answers should first be calculated exactly
and then found accurate to 3 decimal places.
!
Grading:
• Problems are 3 pts apiece
• Take one point off for each arithmetic or algebra error
• Take off full credit if derivative rules weren’t applied correctly
• Take off 2 points for each time chain rule wasn’t used in problems
1
• Take off point if algebra work correct but decimal answers incorrect
