    Chain Rule:

    A review of some important calculus topics

    (a) Let h(t ) = sin cos(tan t ) . Find the derivative with respect to t . (b) Let s(x) =
    4

    x where x(t ) = ln f (t ) and f (t ) is a differentiable function. Find

    ds . dt

    2. Parameterized curves: (a) Describe and sketch the curve given parametrically by x = 5 sin (3t ) 2 for 0 t < . y = 3 cos (3t ) 3 What happens if we instead allow t to vary between 0 and 2? (b) Set up, but do not evaluate an integral that calculates the arc length of the curve described in part (a). (c) Consider the equation x 2 + y 2 = 16. Graph the set of solutions of this equation in R2 and nd a parameterization that traverses the curve once counterclockwise. 3. 1st and 2nd Derivative Tests: (a) Use the 2nd Derivative Test to classify the critical numbers of the function f (x) = x 4 8x 2 + 10. (b) Use the 1st Derivative Test and nd the extrema of h(s) = s 4 + 4s 3 1. (c) Explain why the 2nd Derivative test is unable to classify all the critical numbers of h(s) = s 4 + 4s 3 1. 4. Consider the function f (x) = x 2 e x . (a) Find the best linear approximation to f at x = 0. (b) Compute the second-order Taylor polynomial at x = 0. (c) Explain how the second-order Taylor polynomial at x = 0 demonstrates that f must have a local minimum at x = 0.

    5. Consider the integral


    0

    2x cos (x 2 ) d x.

    (a) Sketch the area in the x y-plane that is implicitly dened by this integral. (b) To evaluate, you will need to perform a substitution. Choose a proper u = f (x) and rewrite the integral in terms of u. Sketch the area in the uv-plane that is implicitly dened by this integral.
