3. Solve the inequality 

4. Determine `+`(x, y);  for eachx, y; in a solution to:

Chapter 4: Define and Describe 

Chapter 5: Getting Closer and Closer 

Math Problem Set 

1. Numerically determine 

2. Consider f(x) = `/`(`*`(sin(x)), `*`(x)); .  Does it have a discontinuity? Create a plot. If a discontinuity exists, highlight it on the image.  

3. Determinelimit(`/`(`*`(sin(x)), `*`(x)), x = 0); using the limit() command.  

4.        Given that `and`(`<=`(cos(x), `/`(`*`(sin(x)), `*`(x))), `<=`(`/`(`*`(sin(x)), `*`(x)), 1)); -1 

5. Evaluate the limit or determine that it does not exist. State a reason why. Use a graph to back up all conclusions.  

6. Determine what value of the constant ‘ a ‘ makes the function f(x) = piecewise(`<=`(1, x), `+`(`*`(3, `*`(`^`(x, 2)))), `<`(x, 1), `+`(`*`(a, `*`(x)), `-`(4)));   continuous everywhere. 

7. Determine the equation of a function where the following conditions are met:  

8. Using the Limit Tutor determine: `+`(sqrt(`+`(`*`(a, `*`(x)), `*`(`^`(x, 2)))), `-`(sqrt(`+`(`*`(b, `*`(x)), `*`(`^`(x, 2))))));  

Maple Problem Set 

1.  When the command limit is capitalized, it tells Maple to create at typeset statement of the limit. When the command is entered with a lower case l, Maple performs the calculation.  

 

> Limit(`*`(`^`(x, 2)), x = 2);
 

Limit(`*`(`^`(x, 2)), x = 2) (5.9.1)
 

> limit(`*`(`^`(x, 2)), x = 2);
 

4 (5.9.2)
 

2.  The iscont() command checks for continuity. 

 

3. If a function is discontinous, the adding discont=true or discont=[showremoveable] will help omit extraneous vertical lines or add in circles that highlight where a function has a hole, respectively. 

 

4. The keyword infinity can be used to represent infinity. Also the ∞ symbol is on the Common Symbols Palette. 

Chapter 6: The Instantaneous Rate of Change 

1.          Given f(x) = `^`(x, x);  

2. Use the diff() and D() commands to determine the first and second derivatives of the following:  

3. Use the Calculus Palette to determine the first and second derivatives of the following: 

4. Determine the nth derivative: 

5. There are two tangent lines to f(x) = `+`(`*`(3, `*`(`^`(x, 2))), `-`(`*`(13, `*`(x))), `-`(10));   that passes through the point  

6.           Use the DerivativeTutor() to create a plot of f(x) = `+`(`*`(3, `*`(`^`(x, 2))), `-`(`*`(13, `*`(x))), `-`(10)); and the first derivative. 

7. Use the DiffTutor() to determine the first derivative of  

8.         Given `+`(`-`(`*`(x, `*`(`^`(y, 3)))), `*`(2, `*`(`^`(x, 3))), `*`(`^`(x, 2), `*`(y))) = 2; and y = ln(`+`(`*`(2, `*`(x)), `*`(2, `*`(y)))); : 

9.   Use the Tangent() function to determine the equation of a tangent line tof(x) = `/`(`*`(`^`(`+`(`*`(3, `*`(x)), 5), 2)), `*`(exp(x))); at x = -2.; Verify the solution with a plot.  

10.        Find the cubic equation f(x) = `+`(`*`(`^`(ax, 3)), `*`(`^`(bx, 2)), cx, d); given there is a maximim at 3, 8;  and a min at -5, -2; .  

 

Chapter 7: Curve Sketching 

Chapter 8: Derivative Applications 

1.        Given the point 4, 1; , which point on f(x) = sqrt(x); is the closest to it? 

2.       Given f(x) = sqrt(`+`(`-`(`*`(`^`(x, 2))), 36)); determine all values that satisfy the MVT on the interval  [-3, 5]; . 

3.       Given f(x, y) = ln(`+`(`*`(2, `*`(x)), `*`(2, `*`(y)))); determine all values that satisfy the MVT on the interval from point  P(`+`(`*`(`/`(1, 2), `*`(exp(`/`(1, 2)))), `-`(`/`(1, 2))), `/`(1, 2));  to point 

4.       A conveyor belt is dumping corn into a large empty silo, forming a circular based cone shaped - heap on the floor. The base radius is twice the size of the height of the pile. If the corn is filling in the space at a rate of 2 `*`(`^`(m, 3)); / minute, find the rate at which the height is changing when the height is 3 m deep. 

5.      Housing developers hoping to attract buyers will often build in amenities for community members to enjoy. In a particular community, fishing is a key attraction, so the housing developers agree to build a small lake and stock it with trout. The population of trout over time can be modeled by p(t) = `+`(`/`(`*`(1200), `*`(`+`(1, `*`(29, `*`(exp(`+`(`-`(`*`(.36, `*`(t))))))))))); ,   where time is measured in months.  

6.       Solve exp(`+`(`*`(.5, `*`(x)))) = `+`(x, 3); using Newton's Method.
