Course/Year: ____________________ Name: ____________________________________________________________
Prepared by: Ms. Mariel A. Hamon Date: ____________________ Score: ____________________
Reason: To assess your prior knowledge when it comes to Basic Calculus and to identify your learning needs to
have a better guide instruction and to track your progress.
GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Read the instructions carefully.
2. Make your solutions organized and understandable.
I. SOLVING. Solve each of the following problems completely. Show all necessary steps and computations. Final answers
must be boxed or clearly indicated. Partial credit may be awarded based on the correctness of your process and
reasoning. Calculators may be used.
A. LIMITS. Evaluate each limits and state what limit theorem did you used. Show your complete solution.
1. Evaluate: lim(5x + 2)3 2. Evaluate: lim (2x 3 + 4x + 5)
x→4 x→−1
x2 + 9 2x2 + 5x +6
3. lim √ 4. lim
x→3 x−3 x → −2 4x + 3

5. lim (𝑥 3 + 2𝑥)
𝑥→2
B. DERIVATIVES. Solve for each derivatives using the differentiation rules. Show your complete solution.
1. 𝑓(𝑥) = (𝑥 −3 + 3𝑥 3 )
2. 𝑓(𝑥) = 2√x

3. 𝑦 = (𝑥 3 )(2𝑥 3 + 2)
4. 𝑓(𝑥) = √𝑥 + 𝑥 −2
5. 𝑦 = (3𝑥 2 − 4𝑥 + 2)(𝑥 2 + 2𝑥)

6. 𝑦 = (2𝑥 − 3)√𝑥 2 + 5𝑥
7. 𝑓(𝑥) = (2𝑥 3 + 2𝑥 + 1)5
8. 𝑓(𝑥) = (𝑥 2 + 1)3 (3𝑥 2 − 𝑥)
