Exercise 1 Solve

x2 3x 0. 5x 25 Exercise 2 Write in the form of a polynomial the following function: f ( x) =

x x15/2 x5/2

Find the intervals in which it is increasing and decreasing. Exercise 3 Perform a complete study of the function (second derivatives also!): f (x) = x 2 arctan x.

In particular, nd its image and indicate the intervals where it is increasing and decreasing. Exercise 4 Find a primitive function of the following functions: f (x) = (x2 2x + 3) ln (x), g (x) = x ln 1x , 1+x h(x) = ln (ln x) . x

and verify the result. Calculate the following integral:

4

ex ln (1 + ex )dx
1

Exercise 5 Calculate the following limits: lim ln x ln2 x , 2 lim 1 . ln (arctan(x) + 1)

x+

x0+

Exercise 6 Calculate the derivative of the following function: f (x) = 3x cos (x) + x4 ln x6 + ex sin (x) + 2. x2 + 1

Find a real number c such that the graph of the function pass through the origin (0, 0).
