(1) Consider the function f(x) =

.

(a) Find the inverse of f.
y =

  y(2x - 4) = 1
  2xy -4y = 1
  2xy = 1 + 4y
  y =

+ 2
Thus + 2

(b) Find the range of

.
Range of

= (Domain of f) = all real numbers except 2
(By looking at the formula for f.)

(c) Find the domain of

.
(domain of

) = all real numbers except 0
(By looking at the formula for

.)

(d) Find the range of f.
(Range of f )= (Domain of

)  =  all real numbers except 0
(By part c above.)

(2)   Simplify the following expressions. Your answers should contain neither an e nor an ln.

(a)

(b) ln( ln(e) )

(c)

(3)
(a)

/4

(b)

(4)  Differentiate the following functions.

(a)

(b)

(c)

(5) This problem involves the function .

(a)   Find all critical points of f.



The derivative is defined for all values of x but equals zero when x is 1 or  -1.
  Therefore, the critical points of f are 1 and -1.

(b) Find the interval(s) on which f increases and on which it decreases.
          -1           1

  f increases on (-∞, -1] and [1,∞)
  f decreases on [-1, 1]

(c) Identify the locations of any extrema of f.  Classify them as relative maxima or minima.
Using the first derivative test,
f has a relative maximum at x= -1.
f has a relative minimum at x = 1.

(6) The graph of the derivative f ' of a function f is sketched.Supply the following information about the function f.

(a)    List the critical points of f.
These occur where f ' (x) is zero or undefind. Thus the critical points are -3, 1, 4

(b)   State the interval(s) on which f is decreasing.
This happens where f ' is negative, namely an (-∞,-3], [-3,1] and [4,∞)

(c)   State the intervals(s) on which f is concave up.
This happens where f ' is increasing, namely on  (-∞,-3], [-1,2]

(d)   At which value of x does f have a relative minimum?
Where f ' switches from neagtive to positive, namely at x=1.

(e)  Using the same coordinate axis, sketch a possible graph of f.
The possible sketch of f is drawn in heavy line.

(7) The graph of the second derivative g'' of a function g is sketched. Suppose you also know that the first derivative g ' has x-intercepts at -3, 0, and 4. Supply the following information about the function g.

(a) At what values of x does g have a relative maximum?
It must happen at a critical point of g, namely at one of the x values -3, 0, and 4.
Of these points, the second derivative is negative at -3 and 4.
Therefore, by the second derivative test, g has a relative maximum at x=-3 and x=4.

(b) State the intervals on which g is increasing.
This happens where the first derivative g ' (x) is positive. We know the x-intercepts of g' are -3, 0, and 4, and we can tell where it's increasing and decreasing by the sign of its derivative g ''(x), which is sketched. Based on this information, a very rough sketch of g ' is drawn above in bold. You can see that the intervals on which g increases are (-∞,-3] , [0,4].
