NAME: SECTION:
STUDENT #:


Final Exam: Sat 12 Dec 2009, 09:00-12:00

No aid (e.g. calculator, written notes) is allowed.

ANSWER AS MANY QUESTIONS AS YOU CAN. All questions carry equal marks. In all
questions it is essential to explain your reasoning and to provide details of the intermediate steps
taken in reaching your answers.

Answers are to be written in this question book. Do not remove any pages. IF you need extra space for your
answers use the backs of pages, but CLEARLY indicate which answer is which! Make sure to write your
name and student number on the paper.

Students will not be allowed to leave during the final 15 minutes of the examination period in order to avoid
disruption to those continuing to work on the paper.

Question 1.
Evaluate exact values of the following quantities, if they exist. If any does not exist, state so.
a) (in radians) sin

clearly explain why not.

Question 3. Consider the function f(x) = x -
2
x


a) Where is the function not continuous, if anywhere?
b) Consider the following statement:
f(-1) = 1, f(1) = -1. Therefore the Intermediate Value Theorem assures us that
there must be at least one value of c between -1 and 1, such that f(c)=0.
Do you agree with the statement? If you do not, explain why not.
c) If you believe that the Mean Value Theorem applies to f(x) on the interval [1,2],
find one value of x between 1 and 2 that satisfies the theorem. If you believe that
the theorem does not apply, explain why not.

Question 4.
a) Find the indicated derivatives using any method you like. Simplify as far as possible.

b) At what values of x, if any, is dy/dx undefined?


Question 6
Make an analysis (natural domain, range, symmetry if any, asymptotes if any,
increasing/decreasing regions, relative and absolute max and min if any, concave up/down
regions, points of inflection if any, etc.) of the function

!
f (x) = e
(

(a) Write out and evaluate the Riemann Sum R

obtained by partitioning [1,4] into 3 equal
sub-intervals and choosing sample points
!

(i.e. the right hand end of the i-th
interval). [Hint, in terms of terminology used in your text, figure out a, b, n, "x, x

, x
2
,
x

. Proceed from there.]
(b) Generalize to N equal sub-intervals, and write an expression for R
N
over the same
interval. You are expected to use sigma notation to express the required sum. You are
not required to evaluate the sum.



Sketch the curve y = f(x), labelling axes, intercepts if any, asymptotes if any, points of max and
min if any, and points of inflection if any. Clearly indicate intervals of x where the function is
increasing or decreasing, and the curve is concave up or concave down.


Question 7
You are required to figure out the dimensions of a can (i.e. a cylindrical container with a flat
circular lid and base) that would minimize its cost of production. The volume must be 256 ! cm
3
.
The base as well as the lid is twice as costly per unit area as the cylindrical wall. [Hint: the volume
of a right circular cylinder of radius r and height h is ! r
2
h. Its curved wall is 2!rh. You are
expected to know how to calculate the area of each end piece.] Note: youre not required to
calculate the minimal cost; only the relevant dimensions.


Question 8. Consider the function f(x) = x
