1.Whatisthederivativeof\(y=x^2\)?

A.\(2x\)

B.\(x\)

C.\(2\)

D.\(x^3\)

Answer:A.Thepowerrulefordifferentiationstatesthatif\(y=x^n\),then\(y=nx^{n-1}\).For\(y=x^2\),usingthepowerrule,\(y=2x^{2-1}=2x\).

2.\(\intxdx=\)

A.\(\frac{1}{2}x^2+C\)

B.\(x^2+C\)

C.\(\frac{1}{x^2}+C\)

D.\(\ln|x|+C\)

Answer:A.Bythepowerruleofintegration,\(\intx^ndx=\frac{1}{n+1}x^{n+1}+C\)for\(n\neq-1\).Here\(n=1\),so\(\intxdx=\frac{1}{2}x^2+C\).

3.Thelimit\(\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{\sinx}{x}=\)

A.\(0\)

B.\(1\)

C.\(\infty\)

D.Doesnotexist

Answer:B.Thisisawell-knownlimitresultincalculus.UsingLHopitalsruleorgeometricarguments,\(\lim_{x\rightarrow0}\frac{\sinx}{x}=1\).

4.If\(y=\ln(x)\),then\(y=\)

A.\(\frac{1}{x}\)

B.\(x\)

C.\(\ln(x)+1\)

D.\(\frac{1}{x^2}\)

Answer:A.Thederivativeofthenaturallogarithmfunction\(y=\ln(x)\)is\(y=\frac{1}{x}\).

5.\(\inte^xdx=\)

A.\(e^x+C\)

B.\(xe^x+C\)

C.\(\frac{1}{e^x}+C\)

D.\(e^{x^2}+C\)

Answer:A.Theintegraloftheexponentialfunction\(e^x\)withrespectto\(x\)isitself,plustheconstantofintegration\(C\),i.e.,\(\inte^xdx=e^x+C\).

6.Whatisthesecondderivativeof\(y=\cosx\)?

A.\(\cosx\)

B.\(-\cosx\)

C.\(\sinx\)

D.\(-\sinx\)

Answer:B.Firstderivative\(y=-\sinx\),thenthesecondderivative\(y=-\cosx\).

7.\(\lim_{x\rightarrow\infty}(1+\frac{1}{x})^x=\)

A.\(0\)

B.\(1\)

C.\(e\)

D.\(\infty\)

Answer:C.Thisisthedefinitionofthenumber\(e\).As\(x\)approachesinfinity,\((1+\frac{1}{x})^x\)convergesto\(e\approx2.71828\).

8.If\(y=3x^3-2x^2+5x-1\),then\(y(1)=\)

A.\(12\)

B.\(8\)

C.\(6\)

D.\(10\)

Answer:A.Firstfind\(y=9x^2-4x+5\).Thensubstitute\(x=1\)into\(y\),\(y(1)=9(1)^2-4(1)+5=9-4+5=12\).

9.\(\int\frac{1}{x^2}dx=\)

A.\(-\frac{1}{x}+C\)

B.\(\frac{1}{x}+C\)

C.\(x^3+C\)

D.\(\ln|x|+C\)

A
