Calculus 1: midterm 2
Midterm exam for Calculus 1: course
1. Calculate the derivative of $$f(x)=x^{e}+e^{x}+x+e.$$
2. Differentiate $$g(t)=\sqrt{x}\cos x.$$
3. Evaluate $\frac{dy}{dx}$ for $$y=\sqrt{e^{x}}.$$
4. Evaluate $\frac{dy}{dx}$ for $$xy=\cos y+x.$$
5. Suppose the altitude, in m, of an object is given by the function $$y=t²+t,t≥0,$$ where t is time, in sec. What is the velocity when the altitude is 12 meters?
6. The population of a city declines by 10% every year. How long will it take to drop to 50% of the current population?
7. The area of a circle is increasing at a rate of 5 cm²/sec. At what rate is the radius of the circle increasing when the area is 2 cm?
8. Find the linear approximation of $f(x)=3\sin (x)$ at $a=0$. Use it to estimate $3\sin (-.02)$.
