Show all the work!

1) Use IVT to verify that 𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥) = 𝑥𝑥 5 − 3𝑥𝑥 + 1 has a root in [1, 3] and use the Bisection Algorithm to
narrow down the location of that root to an interval of length less than or equal to 0.1.
2) Use the definition of the derivative to calculate 𝑓𝑓′(𝑥𝑥) and then evaluate 𝑓𝑓 ′ (3),
if 𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥) = 5𝑥𝑥 2 − 2𝑥𝑥. No credits will be given if you use the differential formula to calculate
𝑓𝑓 ′ (𝑥𝑥).
3) Use the differential formulas to find the derivative of the following functions:
a) 𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥) = 𝑥𝑥 2 sin(𝑥𝑥 2 + 3)
tan(2𝑥𝑥+1)
b) 𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥) =
5𝑥𝑥 3 +4𝑥𝑥−1
c) 𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥) = ln (sin 𝑥𝑥)
d) 𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥) = 𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑎𝑐𝑐 tan(𝑒𝑒 𝑥𝑥 )
e) 𝑓𝑓(𝑥𝑥) = cos(ln (𝑥𝑥))

4) A circle of radius 3 inches is inside a square with 12-inches sides. How fast is the area between
the circle and square changing if the radius is increasing at 4 inches per minute and the sides are
increasing at 2 inches per minute?

6) Find the equation of tangent line to the graph of 𝑦𝑦 = ln ( 𝑥𝑥 2 + 3𝑥𝑥 + 1) at 𝑥𝑥 = 0.
