MATH 201 Final Review 1.1 - 4.

1. Be familiar with four ways to represent a function and with polynomial, rational,
exponential, and logarithmic functions.
2. Know the transformations of functions (vertical and horizontal shifts, vertical and
horizontal stretching, reection.
3. Know how to nd the inverse function of a one-to-one function and the denition
of inverse function.
4. Know the limit laws and how to evaluate the limit of constant, polynomial, rational,
and composite functions.
5. Know how to nd the left-hand and right-hand limit and how to use the left-hand
and right-hand limit to determine whether a limit exists.
6. Know the precise (formal) denition of a limit and how to use it to prove a limit.
Let f be a function dened on an open interval containing a, except maybe at a,
and let L be a real number. Then
lim f (x) = L
xa

means that for each > 0 there exists a > 0 such that |f (x) L| < whenever
0 < |x a| < .

Show that the polynomial function f (x) = x4 + x 3 has a zero in the interval [1, 2].
8. Know the denition of continuity at a point and on an open interval.
9. Describe the intervals on which a function is continuous.
10. Know how to evaluate innite limits and limits at innity, and nd horizontal and
vertical asymptotes.
11. Know the limit denition of the derivative and how to use it, that is
f (x + h) f (x)
f (x) = lim
h0
h
12. Know how to nd the instantaneous velocity, average velocity, and the slope of a
tangent line at a point, as well as nding the equation of the tangent line at a point.

13. Know how to nd the derivative of constant, polynomial, rational, exponential,


logarithmic functions.
14. Know the sum/dierence rule, power rule, product rule, quotient rule, and chain
rule, and how to use them to nd the derivative.
15. Know how to nd higher order derivatives, for example,
(a) Given y(x) = 8(x2 1)3 , nd y (x).
(b) Given y(x) = x2 sin x, nd y (x).
16. Know how to nd derivatives of trigonometric functions and how to evaluate the
limits like the following
sin 7x
lim
x0 5x
17. Know the denition of the chain rule and how to use it.
18. Know implicit dierentiation, for example nd

dy
given
dx

xy = cos (xy)
19. Know how to nd the derivatives of logarithmic functions and how to use logarithms
and implicit dierentiation to simplify the dierentiation of complicated functions,i.e.
logarithmic dierentiation.
20. Know how to solve related rates problems.
21. Know how to nd the absolute max and absolute min over a closed interval, also
be able to dene critical numbers and nd them.
22. Know the extreme value theorem.
23. Know the Mean Value Theorem and its application.
24. Know how to determine the intervals of increase and decrease.
25. Know to determine relative extrema using both the 1st derivative test and 2nd
derivative test.

26. Know the indeterminate forms and how to nd the limit using L Hopital sRule.
27. Be able to sketch a graph using all applicable concepts relating the behaviour of
the function.
