True
False , because it does not hold for f (x) =
π
2 . Consider the function f (x) = sin .
sin(π/x)
a . Find an equation of the tangent line to the graph of y = f (x) at the point with x = 6.
b . Choose one of the options by putting a 3 in the box to the left of it, and then explain
your reasoning in one sentence.
I expect f (101π) to be positive zero negative , because:
3 . Consider the curve defined by the equation x4 + y 4 = 4xy + 52.
a . Find all points on the curve at which the tangent line is horizontal.
d2 y
b . Find at all points where the tangent line is horizontal.

4 . A water tank has the shape of an upside-down cone with
radius 2 m and height 5 m. The water is running out of the
tank through a small hole at the bottom. Assume that the
speed of the water flowing through the hole is proportional
to the square root of the depth of the water in the tank.
a . In this part, suppose that the water is running out at
a rate of 3 m3/min when the depth of the water in the tank
is 4 m. Find the rate at which the water level is changing at
this moment.
b . In this part, suppose that the water level is falling at a rate of 1/3 m/min when the tank
is full. Find the rate at which the water level is changing when the depth of the water in the
tank is 4 m.

1 . A twice-differentiable function f on (−∞, ∞) satisfies the following conditions:
1 f (−2) = A, f (−1) = B, f (0) = C, f (1/2) = −1, f (D) = 0 where A < C
○
2 lim f (x) = −1, lim f (x) = 1
