MATH 1103: Topics, proof list and practice for Test 2

November 27, 2020 4:00 PM

Note: You will have 80 minutes to write the test, followed by 45 minutes for uploading
your answers.

Topics
1. Derivatives: power rule; product/quotient rule; derivatives of trigonometric, expo-
nential and logarithmic functions; chain rule; implicit differentiation; logarithmic
differentiation

2. Related Rates

3. Closed interval method for finding absolute maxima/minima on a closed interval

4. Mean Value Theorem (be able to state)

5. Limits at infinity

Proof list
You are responsible for the proofs of the following theorems:

1. (Power rule for n a positive integer): If n is a positive integer, then

d n
(x ) = nxn−1 .
dx

2. If f and g are both differentiable, then

d d d
[f (x) + g(x)] = f (x) + g(x).
dx dx dx

3. State and prove the product rule.

d d


4. Derive derivatives of trig. functions: Prove dx (sin x) = cos x, dx (tan x) = sec2 x, etc.
sin θ cos θ − 1
(You may assume the trig limits lim = 1 and lim = 0 without
θ→0 θ θ→0 θ
proof.)

5. Prove: If f 0 (x) > 0 on an interval, then f is increasing on that interval.
