Calculus I Practice Final Exam B This practice exam emphasizes conceptual connections and understanding to a greater degree than the exams that are usually administered in introductory single-variable calculus courses. It is designed to guide students who are taking such courses to a deeper mastery of the material. While a number of questions here are fairly typical for actual examinations, you should not infer from the expression practice exam that exams encountered in introductory single-variable calculus courses will ask the same types of questions. Multiple Choice. Determine whether the given statements about a function f are true or false. f(a+h) f(a) Statement I: If lim exists, then lim f(x) exists as well. h h x a Statement II: If f has an inflection point at x = a, then f (a) =. Statement III: If f is continuous on [a,b], then f(x)dx = f(b) f(a). A. All three statements are true. B. I is true, the other two are false. C. They are all false. D.

Show that of all rectangles with a given area, the square has the smallest perimeter. Suppose A is the area, P is the perimeter of a rectangle, and x, y are its sides. Then A = xy and P = 2x + 2y. We are seeking the smallest perimeter, given the area. Therefore, we use the A equation to express one of the two sides: y = A and use that to express the perimeter as a function of x x alone: P(x) = 2x + 2A. Taking the derivative, we find x P (x) = 2 2A x 2. Since x >, P (x) is never undefined. Therefore, the only way P(x) can have a critical 26 R.

point is where P (x) =. We solve that equation: 2 = 2A x 2 x2 = A x = ± A. Since x can t be negative, x = A is the only critical point. We can confirm that P(x) has a relative minimum at that location by using the second derivative test: P (x) = 4A x 3 This function is positive for all x >, hence P ( A) >. This means that P has a relative minimum at x = A. Now we need to explain why the relative minimum is an absolute minimum. There is a theorem we learned in class: if a differentiable function is defined on an interval and has exactly one relative minimum, then that relative minimum must be absolute. In this case, the function P(x) is defined on (, ), an interval, and it has only one relative minimum, so the theorem applies and the relative minimum must be absolute. 3. Since the absolute minimum of the perimeter happens at x = A, and since for that x value, y = A = A = A, we conclude that the absolute minimum of the perimeter occurs x A when x = y = A, i.e. when the rectangle is a square. a. We use the definition of derivative: f () = lim h f( + h) f() h We cannot evaluate this limit based on the given data,but we know that the difference quotient is approximately equal to the limit if h is small in absolute value. There is only one h value that lets us use the given data: h =.. Therefore, f () f(.) f(). = 2.8 2.7. Therefore, we conclude that f () is approximately. =. b. We apply the linear approximation formula f(x) f(a) + f (a)(x a) with a = and x =.2: f(.2) f() + f ().2. We substitute the result from a. and the given value for f() and get: 26 R.

f(.2) 2.7 +.2 = 2.72. 3. Here we use the fact that the antiderivative of sec x tan x is sec x and apply the fundamental theorem of calculs: π 4 sec x tan x dx = [sec x] π 4 = sec π 4 sec The question asks you to simplify as much as possible. From trigonometry, we know that the trig functions have known values for certain angles, including, π, π, π and. 6 4 2 Specifically, sec π = 2 and sec =. Therefore, 4 π 4 sec x tan x dx = 2. 4. We calculate these limits from the inside out : a. lim arctan e x = lim arctan e u = lim arctan w = arctan = π. The arctan limit can be x u w 4 found by evaluation because arctan is continuous at. b. lim x + arctan e x = lim arctan u eu = lim arctan w = arctan =. Again, the arctan w limit can be found by evaluation because arctan is continuous, this time at. c. lim x 5. The definite integral arctan e x = lim arctan e u = lim arctan w = π. u w 2 (x 7 + 2x 5 + 4x 3 + 6x)(3 x 6 + 5x 4 + 7x 2 + 9)dx is zero because it is the integral of an odd function over a symmetric interval [ a, a]. The integrand is odd because it is the product of an odd and an even function.
