Practice problems from old Midterms

Problems numbered exactly like in the Problem set:

5.
f (x) =

x, a = 1000,

1003 = 10 + f (1000)(1003 1000) = 10.01

5.
(a) exponentiate both sides and solve. f 1 (x) =

ex 1. Domain is all real numbers.

(b) And: . write tan1 (3/2) = y => tan y = 3/2. Use sec2 y = 1 + tan2 y.

2) The idea is to calculate dV /V 100,

dr
= 0.05. dV = 4r2 dr. So dV /V = 3 dr
r = 3 0.05 = .15 = 15 %

(b) Ans: y = sec2 y tan y

15.
f (x) =

x, a = 121,

123 = f (121) + f (121)(123 121) = 11 + 1/11

(8) f (x) = x3 + 2x 5
(i) For every value of x, g(x) = x3 is one-one, and h(x) = x is one-one. Therefore f (x) = g(x) + h(x) 5 is
one-one. Therefore inverse exists.

Domain of this is all real numbers except 0.

(a) First use rules of logs to make this compact. ln

(b) f (x) = sin x + cos x. f (x) = cos x sin x. When you apply the derivative of inverse formula, you will need
f 1 (1). Find a number that when plugged in the function gives you -1. That number is , because f () = 1.
Therefore f 1 (1) = . Plug in the derivative formula. Answer: 1.
18.
(a) f (1) = 4.
(b) x is one-one on R, 3x is one to one on R, therefore inverse exists on R. f 1 (4) = 1.

(a) Typo in the problem. limit should be x > 2+ . Replace 3/(2 x) = t. Ans 0.
(b) make it into a log of ratio. divide all the terms by x. Ans: ln 2
