Tutorial 1

This document contains the solutions to problems from a mathematics tutorial on calculus. It includes: 1) Finding an expression for (g ◦ f)(x) − (f ◦ g)(x) where f(x) = x^6 and g(x) = sqrt(|3 - x|). 2) Taking the derivatives of several functions, including trigonometric, exponential, logarithmic and rational functions. 3) Calculating the rate coffee is draining from a conical filter into a cylindrical pot and the rate the level is falling in the cone. 4) Finding the first and second derivatives of functions relating x and y, including an implicit function and
