Problem Set No. 2 Prepared by Andrew C. Hernandez

Instruction: Do as indicated. Write your complete solutions as neatly as possible.

dy
I. Long Method: Determine the derivative of of the following functions:
dx
1. y = x2 + 3x
2. y = cos x
II. Differentiation Rules: Using differentiation rules and formula, find the first derivative of the follow-
ing functions:

1. f (x) = (x − 3)3
x2 + 2
2. y =
2x − 1
3. f (x) = sin x cos x

III. Worded Problem

1. What is the slope of the tangent line passing through y = x2 − 3x − 5 at (−1, −1)?
2. An airplane is flying on a horizontal path at the height of 3,800 feet. At what rate is the distance
between the airplane and a fixed point P on the ground changing with respect to the angle of
elevation θ of the airplane from P if θ = 30◦ ?
3. An object moves on a horizontal coordinate line. Its directed distance s from the origin at the
end of t seconds is t3 − 6t2 + 9t feet.
(a) When is the object moving to the left?
(b) What is the acceleration when its velocity is equal to zero?
(c) When is the acceleration positive?
(d) When is its speed increasing?
