1 ACTM State Calculus Competton Saturday Aprl 30, 2011 ACTM State Calculus Competton Sprng 2011 Page 1 Instructons: For questons 1 through 25, mark the best answer choce on the answer sheet provde Afterward completng questons 1 through 25, attempt the te-breaker questons n sequental order (do #1 frst, followed by #2, and then #3 last). Be sure that your name s prnted on each of the tebreaker questons. Unless otherwse stated, assume all varables are real and all functons are contnuous over relevant domans. Assume all angles are n Radans. Good luck! 1. Consder the followng lmt: Gven, determne the maxmum value for to satsfy the defnton of the lmt. Cannot be determne 2. Determne the slope of the normal lne to the functon at the pont. 3.
