Review 2




1.
Using the definition of the derivative, find the derivative of
(a)
$f(x)=\sqrt{2x+1}$.
(b)
$f(x)=\sin 2x$.

2.
Find $\lim_{x\rightarrow 0} \frac{\cos 3x - \cos x}{\sin 5x}$.

3.
Calculate $y^\prime$:
(a)
$y=\frac{(2x+1)^3}{(3x+2)^2}$.
(b)
$y=\sqrt{2x^2+1}\cos^3 2x$.
(c)
$y=\tan(\cos \frac{x^2+1}{x^2})$.
(d)
$x\sin y+ y\sin x=2$.

4.
Find the equation of the tangent line to the curve $x+\tan xy =2$ at the point $(1,\frac{\pi}{4})$.

5.
Let the position of a particle at the time t is x(t)=t3-3t+1. Find the total distance traveled from t=0 to t=2.

6.
The angle of elevation of the sun increases at a rate of 0.1 rad/h. How fast is the shadow of 200-feet-tall building decreases when the length of the shadow is 400 ft?

7.
Without using calculator, find approximately $\sin \frac{401\pi}{100}$.

8.
