[Sample Quiz & Answers]:
**Question 1:** Limits
\[ \lim_{{x \to 3}} (2x^2 - 5x + 1) \]
Sample Answer:
To find the limit, we can plug in the value of \(x\) as it approaches 3:
\[ \lim_{{x \to 3}} (2x^2 - 5x + 1) = 2(3^2) - 5(3) + 1 = 18 - 15 + 1 = 4 \]
So, the limit is 4.
**Question 2:** Derivatives
Calculate the derivative of the following function with respect to x:
\[ f(x) = 3x^3 - 2x^2 + 4x - 7 \]
Sample Answer:
To find the derivative, we apply the power rule for differentiation:
\[ f'(x) = 3(3x^2) - 2(2x) + 4 = 9x^2 - 4x + 4 \]
So, the derivative is \(f'(x) = 9x^2 - 4x + 4\).
**Question 3:** Fundamental Theorem of Calculus - Part I
Let \( F(x) \) be an antiderivative of \( f(x) \), and suppose that:
\[ \int_{1}^{5} f(x) \, dx = 12 \]
Sample Answer:
By the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, \( F(b) - F(a) = \int_{a}^{b} f(x) \, dx \), where \(a = 1\) and \(b = 5\). So,
\[ F(5) - F(1) = \int_{1}^{5} f(x) \, dx = 12 \]
Therefore, \( F(5) - F(1) = 12 \).
**Question 4:** Derivatives and Optimization
A rectangular garden has a fixed perimeter of 60 meters. Find the dimensions (length and width) of the rectangle that maximize its area.
Sample Answer:
Let \(L\) be the length and \(W\) be the width of the rectangle. We know that the perimeter is 60 meters, so:
\[ 2L + 2W = 60 \]
Solving for one of the variables, say \(L\), we get \(L = 30 - W\). Now, we want to maximize the area, which is given by \(A = LW\). Substituting the expression for \(L\):
\[ A = (30 - W)W = 30W - W^2 \]
To find the maximum, we take the derivative and set it equal to zero:
\[ A' = 30 - 2W = 0 \]
Solving for \(W\), we get \(W = 15\). Then, \(L = 30 - W = 30 - 15 = 15\).
So, the dimensions that maximize the area are \(L = 15\) meters and \(W = 15\) meters.
**Question 5:** Fundamental Theorem of Calculus - Part II
Given that \( g(x) \) is continuous on the interval [1, 4] and \( \int_{1}^{4} g(x) \, dx = 8 \), find the value of:
\[ \frac{d}{dx} \int_{1}^{x} g(t) \, dt \]
Sample Answer:
By the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus - Part II, the derivative of the integral with a variable limit is equal to the function itself. So,
\[ \frac{d}{dx} \int_{1}^{x} g(t) \, dt = g(x) \]
Therefore, the value of the expression is \( g(x) \).
