Calculus Sample Problems General Topics Calculus Title/Subject Description Determine derivatives of functions in one variable, typically x. These are basic functions. Take derivatives of functions in x. We find either y' or dy/dx, depending on your common notation. Indeterminate limits of the form 0/0 can be evaluated with derivatives of both numerator and denominator. We evaluate limits of zero-divided-by-zero rational expressions by evaluating the derivatives of the numerator and denominator. Derivative problems of a most basic nature.

Basic problems to find the derivative of function y with respect to x. We find the first derivative of y with respect to x. Derivative problems here involve inverse trig functions and e. Those are more detailed in Lesson 136.

We find the derivative of the arccosine function, as well as functions involving e and trig functions. Fortigate Vm Trial License Download here. These derivative problems involve radicals and higher powers of x. More derivatives from the first semester of The Calculus.

More basic derivatives of y = f(x), with respect to x. Problems involve trig function, inverse trig functions, and natural logarithms.

Practice more derivatives, f'(x), or dy/dx. Higher powers are showing up in our functions f(x), for which we find dy/dx, or f'(x). We want an equation to the line tangent to our original function at some specified point. We find equations for lines tangent to functions using a first derivative function set to zero. Find the equation of a normal line, perpendicular to the tangent line. From values associated with the first derivative of a function, determine the function f(x).

I work the cubic and leave for you the quadratic. Given extrema, determine the coefficients of the 'original' function f(x). Find extrema -- maxima and/or minima. I employ the Quotient Rule.

We determine inflection points with implementation of second derivatives. Determine concavity/convexity with inflection points. We employ second derivatives. We employ second derivatives to find inflection points to determine concavity/convexity of f(x). Determine concavity/convexity of f(x). We recommend www.desmos.com to see functional relationships as we determine monotonicity and extrema of f(x).
