| Part 1. Differentiate the following functions.
Show work.
1. f(t) = e^(-4t)
2. f(x) = 1/(e^x + 2)^2
3. g(x) = (25x^2)/(2^x)
4. y = (t^3 - 7t^2 + 1)e^t
5. f(x) = 4^(x^(1/2))
6. What is the 100th derivative of B(x) = e^x?
7. f(x) = ((3x^2 + 5x - 1)^3)^2
Part 2. Solve. Show work and explain
as you feel necessary.
8. Given f(x = x^3 - 6x^2 + 9x - 5
a. Find the slope of the tangent line
to the graph of f(x) at x = -2 using Calculus.
b. Write the equation of the tangent
line.
c. Use Calculus to find the points where
the curve has a horizontal tangent.
9. If P dollars are invested at an annual rate of r% then in t years
the investment grows to F dollars where
F = P(1 + (r/100))^t
a. Assuming P and r are constant, find
dF/dt.
b. In practical terms (in terms of money),
what does the derivative mean?
c. If $10,000 is invested at 8%, find
F'(4) and give its interpretation.
