FULL-SOLUTION PROBLEMS. In questions 2–4, justify your answers and show
all your work. If you need more space, use the back of the previous page.
[5] 2. Carefully prove that 2x4 − x3 + 2x2 − 1 has a root between x = −1 and x = 1.
[6] 3. Use the definition of the derivative to prove that if f (x) is a differentiable function
and g(x) = x2 f (x), then g 0 (x) = x2 f 0 (x) + 2x f (x). No credit will be given for using
the Product Rule.

[5] 4. Find a point on the curve y = 16 − x2 that is below the x-axis, such that the tangent
line through that point also passes through the point (5, 0), or determine that no such
point exists.
[6] 5. Let
ax + b if −∞ < x ≤ 2,
(
f (x) = 2
1
c + (x − 2) sin (x−2)2 if 2 < x < ∞,
and determine all values (if any exist) of the constants a, b, and c so that f (x) is
continuous for all x. (Remember to justify your answer.)
