Answers for Calculus I Midterm Makeup test
Problem 1 a. Define

0 f or x 6= ±1
f (x) =
1 f or x = 1 or x = −1

Then f is not continuous at 1 and -1 because

lim f (x) = lim f (x) = 0 6= 1 = f (1) = f (−1)


x→1 x→−1

b.
1 − cos 2x 2 sin2 x sin2 x x2
lim = lim = 2 lim lim = 2.
x→0 sin x2 x→0 sin x2 x→0 x2 x→0 sin x2

Problem 2 Let f (x) = ex − x − 2, then f is continuous, f (0) < 0, f (2) > 0.


Therefore, there exists c ∈ (0, 2) ⊂ (0, ∞) such that f (c) = 0. This number
c is a solution of the equation.

Problem 3 Let f (x, y) = xy 2 −x2 y, then fx (2, −1) = (−1)2 −2(2)(−1) = 5,


fy (2, −1) = 2(2)(−1) − (2)2 = −8, and y 0 (2) = − −8

= 58 . Thus the equation
of the tangent at (2,-1) is y = 85 x − 94

Problem 4

f 0 (x) = f (x)(ln f (x))0 = x2x (2x ln x)0 = 2x2x (1 + ln x)

Problems 5. b, 6. d, 7. e, 8. c
