1MC3 - Fall 2014 Term Test 4 Version - I

Student Name: Student ID:

1. (4 pts each) Find the derivatives of the following functions


(a) y = sin−1 (2x2 − 3x)

y0 = √ 1
(4x − 3)
1−(2x2 −3x)2

cosh(−3x2 )
(b) y = sinh(2x2 )

sinh(2x2 ) sinh(−3x2 )(−6x)−cosh(−3x2 ) cosh(2x2 )(4x)


y0 = (sinh(2x2 ))2

(c) y 2 − sin(xy) = 3x − cos(y)

Differentiating both sides with respect to x,


dy dy dy
2y dx − cos(xy)(x dx + 1 · y) = 3 + sin(y) dx
dy
(2y − cos(xy)x − sin(y)) dx = 3 + y cos(xy)
dy 3+y cos(xy)
dx = (2y−cos(xy)x−sin(y))

2. (4 pts each) Find the limits of the following functions if they exist
√
(a) limx→0+ x√ x
Let y = x x ,

Taking natural logarithms on both side


√
ln y = x ln x

Applying the limits of the question to the above equation,

√
lim ln y = lim x ln x
x→0+ x→0+
ln x
= lim √
x→0+ 1/ x

This is an indeterminate form! Therefore, applying l’Hospital’s rule,

1/x
= lim √
x→0+−1/2 x
−2
= lim √ = −∞.
x→0 + x
ln y = −∞
y = e−∞ = 0
√
x
Therefore, limx→0+ x = 0.

10x −ex
(b) limx→0 x

This is an indeterminate form. Therefore, applying l’Hospital’s rule,


10x − ex 10x ln 10 − ex
lim = lim
x→0 x x→0 1
10x −ex
Applying the limits, we get limx→0 x = ln 10 − 1.

3. (10 pts) For the following function find the critical points, intervals of concavity and inflection points.
f (x) = 2x3 − 3x2 − 3x + 2

f 0 (x) = 6x2 − 6x − 3 = 3(2x2 − 2x − 1)


√
Setting f 0 (x) = 0 and solving it for x we get x = 1± 3
2 . These are the critical points.
00
f (x) = 4x − 4.
The inflection point is at f 00 (x) = 0, i.e., x = 1.
The function is concave up when f 00 > 0, i.e. x > 1 and the function is concave down when f 00 < 0, i.e.
x < 1.

4. (10 pts) Two variable resistors R1 and R2 are connected in parallel so that their combined resistance, R, is
1 1 1
R = R1 + R2 . At an instant when R1 = 250Ω and R2 = 1000Ω, R1 is increasing at a rate of 100Ω/min. How
fast must R2 be changing for R to be kept constant?

When R1 = 250Ω and R2 = 1000Ω, R is calculated as


1 1 1
= + (1)
R R1 R2
1 1
= +
250 1000
5
=
1000
Therefore R = 200Ω.
Differentiating Eq. (1) with respect to t, we get

−1 dR −1 dR1 −1 dR2
= + 2
R2 dt R12 dt R2 dt

Keeping R constant means that dR/dt = 0. So, the left side of the above equation is 0.

−1 dR1 −1 dR2
0 = + 2
R12 dt R2 dt
1 dR2 −1 dR1
=
R22 dt R12 dt
dR2 −1 dR1
= R22 2
dt R1 dt
dR2 −1
= 10002 · 100
dt 2502
dR2
= −1600
dt

Thus, the R2 must be decreasing at a rate of 1600Ω/min for R to be constant.
