maximum, local minimum, or neither.

2. On which intervals is 𝑓(𝑥) increasing? On which intervals is it decreasing?


3. Find all inflection points of 𝑓(𝑥)

4. On which intervals is 𝑓(𝑥) concave up? Concave down?

5. Find the absolute maximum and absolute minimum values of 𝑓(𝑥) on the
closed interval [ -3,3].
Question two: Solve the following integrals: (6 Points)

1. ∫ 𝑥 2 . 𝑠𝑖𝑛𝑥 𝑑𝑥

√8+tan (𝑥)
2. ∫
1−𝑠𝑖𝑛2 (𝑥)
Question three: Find the limit if it exists: (6 Points)

1. lim
(𝑥,𝑦)→(0,0) 𝑥 4 + 𝑦 4

𝑥2− 𝑦2
2. lim
(𝑥,𝑦)→(0,0) 𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2

sin (𝑥 2 + 𝑦 2 )
3. lim
(𝑥,𝑦)→(0,0) 𝑥2+ 𝑦2
Question four: Find the first order partial derivatives: (3 Points)
