Exam Diferential Calculus 4

1. This document appears to be a practice final exam for a math course containing 16 multi-part problems testing calculus concepts like limits, derivatives, curve sketching, and optimization. 2. The problems cover a wide range of calculus topics including limits, derivatives up to the second order, curve sketching, related rates, optimization, and transcendental functions. 3. The final two problems ask the test taker to find and classify critical points and inflection points of a polynomial function.
