1. (1.5) Sketch the graph of an example of a function f that satisfies all of the given
conditions:

2. (1.5) Find the vertical and horizontal asymptotes of the following functions. Justify
your answers using limits.
√

(a) f (x) = √
x
3
(b) e 1−x
3. (2.1,2.2) A certain function f (x) is known to satisfy
f (x + h) − f (x) = x2 (eh − 1) − 4xh + h2 − h.
(a) Find f ′ (x) using the limit definition of the derivative.
(b) What is the average rate of change of f (x) on the interval [1, 4]? Round answer to
two decimal places.
4. (2.1,2.2) Using√the limit definition of the derivative, find the equation of the tangent
line to f (x) = 6 − x at x = −3.
5. (2.1,2.2) Determine if f ′ (0) exists and justify your answer using limits for
(
x3 cos( πx ), if x ̸= 0
f (x) = .
0, if x = 0

6. (2.1,2.2) If f (x) = |1 − x2 | then find f ′ (1). Justify your answer using limits.
7. Consider the piecewise function f (x) given below:

x2 − 4x + 4, if x ≤ 3

(a) (1.6) Is f (x) continuous at x = 3? Justify your answer using checklist.


(b) (2.1,2.2) Is f (x) differentiable at x = 3? Justify your answer using limit definition.
8. (1.6) Use the Intermediate Value Theorem to show that the following equation

ex = 3 − 2x
has a solution in the interval (0, 1).
9. True or False: If the statement is true, explain or prove why. If the statement is false,
give a counterexample that disproves the statement.
(a) If lim f (x) = 0, then lim xf (x) = 0.
x→∞ x→∞
(b) If lim f (x) = ∞ and lim g(x) = ∞, then lim [f (x) − g(x)] = 0.
x→a x→a x→a

Bonus:
Let g(x) = x2/3 . Using the limit definition of the derivative, find g ′ (a) assuming a ̸= 0.
( √ √
x − a = ( 3 x)3 − ( 3 a)3
Hint: √ √
x2/3 − a2/3 = ( 3 x)2 − ( 3 a)2

The End.
