Amherst College, DEPARTMENT OF MATHEMATICS Math, Final Eamination, May 4, Answer Key. [ Points] Evaluate each of the following limits. Please justify your answers. Be clear if the limit equals a value, + or, or Does Not Eist. (a) lim 4 + 8 = 4 + 8 = = by the Direct Substitution Property. (b) lim = + because RHL= LHL. 7 7 RHL: lim 7 + 7 7 + 7 = + = + LHL: lim 7 7 7 ( 7) = = + = + + 6 7 (c) lim + ( + 7)( ) ( )( ) + 7 = 8 = (d) lim + 4 + 4( + ) ( + 4)( + ) ( + 4) ( + 4) + + ( + 4)( + ) 4 ( + 4) = 4 ( )( + 4) = 4 4 + ( + 4)( + ). [ Points] Compute each of the following derivatives. Do not simplify your answers. (a) d d ( ) e 7 tan = tan ( ) ( ) e 7 4 7 e 7 sec (tan ) (b) dy d, if sin + e y = 7 + ln(y). d ( First we implicit differentiate both sides w.r.t.. sin + e y) = d (7 + ln(y)). d d Then sin cos + e y dy d = ( dy ) y d + y = dy y d + ( As a result, e y ) dy y d = sin cos
Finally, dy d = sin cos e y y. (c) d d ( 7 e t ) lnt dt = d ( e t ) d 7 lnt dt = e ln by FTC Part I [ ( )] (d) d ln 7 + e sin d ( + 9) (hint: you might want to simplify first) = d [ ln ] d 7 + + lne sin ln(( + 9) ) = d [ ] ln(( 7 + ) + sin ln( + 9) d = d [ ] ( ) ( ) d ln(7 + ) + sin ln( + 9) = 7 7 6 + cos + 4 + 9 (e) f (), where f() = e cos + 7. f () = e cos ( sin ) 7 8 f () = e cos ( cos ) sine cos ( sin) + 6 9 = e cos cos + sin e cos + 6 9 (f) f (), where f() =. We can solve this two ways: first try Logarithmic Differentiation and using the properties of logs, Let y =, so that lny = ln( ) = ln Net use implicit differentation to differentiate both sides w.r.t. d d (lny) = d d (ln) Then ( ) dy y d = + ln = + ln. As a result, dy = y( + ln). d Finally, dy d = ( + ln). The second option is to rewrite y = = e ln() = e ln. d Then differentiate, d ( ) = d (e ln ) ( ( ) ) = e ln + ln d = e ln() ( + ln) = ( + ln).

[ Points] Give an ε-δ proof that lim 4 = 9. Scratchwork: we want f() L = ( 4) ( 9) < ε f() L = ( 4) ( 9) = 4 + 9 = + = ( + ) = + = ( ) (want < ε) ( ) < ε means ( ) < ε
So choose δ = ε to restrict < ( ) < δ. That is < ( ) < ε. Proof: Let ε > be given. Choose δ = ε. Given such that < ( ) < δ, then as desired f() L = ( 4) ( 9) = + = ( + ) = ( ) = ( ) < ε = ε..

For this function, discuss domain, vertical and horizontal asymptote(s), interval(s) of increase or decrease, local etreme value(s), concavity, and inflection point(s). Then use this information to present a detailed and labelled sketch of the curve. Take my word for it that lim e = and 4 lim e =
f() has domain (, ) so No Vertical Asymptotes. Vertical asymptotes: none Horizontal asymptotes: at y = towards, since lim f() =. First Derivative Information: f () = e ( ) + e = e ( + ) The critical points occur where f is undefined (never here) or zero. Also note that the eponential function is always non-zero, which implies that + = As a result, = is the critical number.

[ Points] A bo with a square base and a (flat) top is to be made to hold a volume of 7 cubic feet. Determine the dimensions that minimize the amount of material used. (Remember to state the domain of the function you are computing etreme values for.) y The Volume of this bo, which is fied, is given as V = y = 7 = y = 7.
