MAM1020F Tutorial 7 2–3 April 2024

1. (a) Use the definition of√the derivative of a function at a point to find


f 0 (4) where f (x) = 2x + 1
(b) Find the equation of the tangent line to f at x = 4.


x2 + 2x + 1 if x ≥ 0
2. We define f (x) = where a and b are arbitrary
ax + b if x < 0
constants.

(a) How should you choose a and b so that h is continuous at x = 0?


(b) How should you choose a and b so that h is differentiable at x = 0?

3. Let a function f : R → R be defined by



x+1 x≤1
f (x) =
a(x − 2)2 + b x>1

where a and b are constants chosen so that f is differentiable at x = 1.


Find the value of f (2).

4. The equation of motion of a particle is s = t3 − 3t, where s is in meters


and t ≥ 0 is in seconds. Find

(a) the velocity and acceleration as functions of t,


(b) the acceleration after 2s, and
(c) the acceleration when the velocity is 0.

5. Show that if f is an even function then f 0 is an odd function. [Try a


proof using the limit definition of f 0 (x) and f 0 (−x). Your proof must
work for any even function; it is not good enough to check it for one
even function.]

6. Which of the following statements are true, and which are false? If you
believe that a statement is true, then give a reason. If you believe that
a statement is false, then give an example to show that it is not true.

1
(a) If f and g are both increasing functions on an interval, then f g is
an increasing function on that interval.
(b) If
lim f (x) = 0
x→a

and g(a) is defined, then

lim f (x)g(x) = 0
x→a

(c) If f is an odd function then f 0 is an even function.


(d) If f is differentiable at a then f 00 (a) exists.
(e) If f is differentiable at a then lim f (x) exists.
x→a

(f) If f is differentiable for all positive x and f 0 (x) → 0 as x → ∞


then f has a horizontal asymptote.
(g) Suppose f is defined on an interval [a, b], and that f (a) > 0 and
f (b) < 0. Then for some c ∈ [a, b], f (c) = 0.
(h) If limx→a f (x) exists and limx→a g(x) does not exist, then limx→a [f (x)g(x)]
does not exist.
(i) If limx→a f (x) does not exist and limx→a g(x) does not exist, then
limx→a [f (x)g(x)] does not exist.
(j) If limx→a f (x) does not exist, then limx→a |f (x)| does not exist.
(k) If f and g are real valued functions and limx→2 [f (x)g(x)] = L
then L = f (2)g(2).
(l) If f 0 (a) is undefined, then f (x) has a vertical tangent at x = a
