251 Worksheet 3 Fall 2016 Name________________________________

Instructor: HOFFMAN

Hours by Arrangement and Exam 2 Practice pt. 1

Instructions:
1. Log in on the Learning Center computer.
2. Pick up your worksheet from an instructor or tutor working in the Math Lab.
3. Complete the worksheet in the Learning Center using a separate piece of paper to show your work.
4. Turn in your paper to a tutor or instructor in the learning center by 3pm Friday, 10/21.

1. Write down all the shortcut rules for finding the derivatives of basic functions. Use the shortcut rules to find
!"
of the function below:
!#

1 1 1
y = 4 x3 + + 2 + x 2 + x +1+ + 2 + e x
5
x4 x x


3x + 2
2. For f (x) = , find f (x) using the definition of the derivative. Use your result to find the equation of
x+4
the tangent line at the point (1,1) . Confirm your result using the quotient rule.

3. Summarize when it is appropriate to use each of the major derivative techniques: Product rule, Quotient
rule, Chain Rule, Implicit Differentiation and Logarithmic Differentiation. How do we know when to use which
technique? What is it about the function, or equation that tells us what to do?

4. The implicit equation for the heart shown at right is
% + % 1 + % + = 0
Find the equation of the tangent line at the point (1,1).

5. Find the derivative of F (v ) = 3
v + 1

6. Find the derivative of y = e k tan x


7. Find when = /01 #
