MATH 100, Test 2 self-assessment

Suggested instructions: Find a quiet space where you can work uninterrupted, and at-
tempt to solve each problem on this list without referring to your notes or any other resource
you cannot access during the test. Spend at least two minutes on each problem, even if you
are not sure what to do; this is not designed as a timed test.
Once you have completed your attempt, check your work with the answer key (provided
separately). The answer key includes textbook sections and learning objectives; for each
problem you found challenging or were not able to solve, review material from that section.

1. Evaluate the limit

x→1 ln(x) x − 1

2. Consider the function f (x) = x3 − 3x + 2 on the interval [−2, 2].

(a) Find the absolute maximum and minimum of f (x) on this interval.
(b) Find all values of c that satisfy the conclusion of the Mean Value Theorem for
f (x) on this interval.

3. The power P (in watts) of an electric circuit is related to the circuit’s resistence R (in
ohms) and current I (in amperes) by the equation P = RI 2 . At a certain point in
time, when resistance is 6 ohms and current is 2 amperes, the resistance is decreasing
by 0.3 ohms/min and the current is increasing by 0.2 amperes/min. What is the rate
of change of the power at that moment?

4. Use Newton’s method to approximate the point where the curves y = ln(x) and y =
3 − x intersect. Start with x0 = 1 and find x2 .

5. Consider the function f (x) = x2 −4
.

(a) Find the domain of f (x) and any x-intercepts and y-intercepts.
(b) Find the horizontal and vertical asymptotes of y = f (x), if any.

(c) Given that f 0 (x) = −5(x +4)
(x2 −4)2
, find the intervals on which f (x) is increasing and the
intervals on which f (x) is decreasing, and the coordinates of any local extrema.

(d) Given that f 00 (x) = 10x(x +12)
(x2 −4)3
, find the intervals on which f (x) is concave-up or
concave-down, and the coordinates of any points of inflection.1
(e) Based on your findings, sketch a graph of y = f (x).

6. You wish to construct a box with a square base and an open top. If you have 720
cm2 of material available to construct the box, what is the largest volume it can hold?
Remember to verify that your answer is indeed a maximum.

9. Use the linearization of f (x) = x at x = 36 to approximate 42.

10. Write a differential formula that estimates the change in the volume V = πr2 h of a
right circular cylinder when the radius changes from r0 to r0 + dr and the height does
not change.

11. Suppose that f (x) is a twice differentiable function and limx→0 fx(x)
2 = 1. Does f (x)
have a local minimum at x = 0? Either explain why the answer has to be yes, or give
an example of a function f (x) for which the answer is no.

12. Is it possible for a function f (x) to be differentiable on the interval (0, 3) and have no
absolute maximum on the interval [0, 3]? If so, sketch a graph of one. If not, explain
why not.

13. Is it possible for a function g(x) to have all of the following properties at the same
time? If so, sketch a graph of one. If not, explain why not.

• g 0 (x) < 0 for 0 < x < 2


• g 0 (x) > 0 for 2 < x < 3
• g 00 (2) < 0.

14. True or False?

(a) If g 00 (x) < 0, for x < c and g 00 (x) > 0 for x > c, then g must have a point of
inflection at x = c.
(b) If f 0 (x) = g 0 (x), then f (x) = g(x).
(c) If g(x) is continuous on the interval [−1, 4] then there is some c such that g 0 (c) =
g(4)−g(−1)
.

(e) f (x)g(x)dx = f (x)dx g(x)dx.
(f) If g(x) has no critical numbers on the interval [1, 3] then g(x) has no absolute
maximum or absolute minimum on that interval.
