Calculus 1 Practice Quiz

Calculus I (Questions, Detailed Solutions and Answers Practice Quiz)

1. Find the first derivative f'(x) of the function f(x) = x^2 * sin(x)

Solution: To solve this problem, we use the Product Rule for differentiation, which is:

d(uv)/dx = u * dv/dx + v * du/dx

Where u and v are two functions that are differentiable at x.

For the function f(x) = x^2 * sin(x),

Answer: f'(x) = d(x^2 * sin(x))/dx = x^2 * d(sin(x))/dx + sin(x) * d(x^2)/dx f'(x) = x^2 * cos(x) + 2x * sin(x)

2. If f(x) = x sin(x), find f'(x)
Solution: Using the Product rule,
Answer: d(x sin(x))/dx = x d(sin(x))/dx + sin(x) dx/dx
f'(x) = x cos(x) + sin(x)

3. If f(x) = sin(x)/cos(x), find f'(x)
Solution: To solve this problem, we use the Quotient rule,
d(u/v)/dx = v(du/dx) – u(dv/dx) / v^2
For the function f(x) = sin(x)/cos(x),
Answer: f'(x) = d(sin(x)/cos(x))/dx = cos(x) d(sin(x))/dx – sin(x) d(cos(x))/dx / cos^2(x)
f'(x) = cos^2(x) + sin^2(x) / cos^2(x)
f'(x) = 1/cos^2(x)
f'(x) = sec^2(x)
