SECOND LONG EXAM 28 Apr 2014

INSTRUCTIONS. Write your answers clearly and legibly. Show ALL necessary solutions and BOX all final
answers. Use black or blue pen only.
I. Write True if the statement is correct and write False if otherwise. 1 pt each

1. If f is a polynomial function of degree n, then f (n) (x) = 0 for all n 0.

2. If f and g are functions such that f (x) 6= g(x), then f 0 (x) 6= g 0 (x).
3. If lim f (x) = f (a), then f 0 (a) exists.

4. Suppose f (x) = mx + b where m 6= 0. Then the equation of the tangent line to the graph of f (x) is equal to
f (x).
5. The tangent line to a curve may intersect the graph of the curve at more than one point.
II. Do as indicated.
2
x3 cos2 (5x)
dy 3
x
1. Find given that y = 6 . No need to simplify. 6 pts
dx csc(x2 + 3)
2. Determine the equation of the normal line to the graph of 2y = x + sin(xy 2 ) + tan(x y) at the origin. 5 pts
3. Let
x2

2x + 5, if x 1
h(x) =
x2 + 15, if x < 1
Determine if h(x) is differentiable at x = 1. If yes, find h0 (1). 5 pts
III. Solve the following problems.

1. Use a local linear approximation to approximate 3 3 0.9905 + 6 6 0.9905. 5 pts
2. Ako wishes to get a perfect score in Math 53 Exam, so s/he went to a wishing well and dropped a very large
coin. S/he heard the splash of the water 2 seconds after it was dropped. Suppose the height of the coin with
respect to the bottom of the well is given by s(t) = 15t2 30t + 225 where t is in seconds and s is in feet.
(a) What is the height of the coin with respect to the bottom of the well 2 seconds before it was dropped?
1 pt
(b) When will the coin hit the bottom? 1 pt
(c) With what speed did the coin hit the bottom? 2 pts
(d) What is the the acceleration of the ball at any time t? 2 pts
3. Before studying, Ikaw decided to swim in a rectangular pool 5 meters in width and 6 meters in length, which
was being filled with water. If the water level was increasing at a rate of 0.3 meters per minute, how fast was
the volume of the water rising in the pool? 5 pts
4. After the exam, Tayo went to an ice cream house and ordered an inverted cone filled with ice cream. The cone
has a fixed height of 6 inches. Since s/he loves Math 53, s/he wonders at what rate is the volume of the cone
increasing with respect to the radius when the radius is 2 inches. Solve the problem of Tayo.
Hint: Vcone = 31 r2 h 3 pts
