The second exam covers Chapter 2 (excluding Section 2.1) and Sections 3.1 and 3.2.
It is recommended that you go over homework problems (HW#4 - 6), your class notes and the quizzes.
Many of the problems and questions we discuss in class are excellent examples of
test questions. The solutions to your WebAssign problems on HW#4 - 6 can be seen by clicking "View Key"
near the top of each assignment. I have also listed many, many practice problems on WebAssign
titled ``Exam #2 Review Problems.''
In addition, some good review problems from the Chapter 2
Review Exercises are listed below. The odd answers are in the back of the book while the evens are
listed here. The Concept-Check at the end of each chapter (before the exercises) is also a
source for good questions. The exam will be designed to take roughly one hour although you will
have the full 90 minutes if needed.
Exam Review Session: Monday, Oct. 28, 7:30 - 9:00 pm in Smith Labs 154, led by our TA
Ken Goettler.
Note: You will be allowed a scientific calculator for the exam which does NOT have graphing
capabilities.

14. 1/3
16. 0
18. -1
30. (a) f'(2) = 10, (b) y = 10x - 16
34. Your graph should be positive (above the x-axis) until a
small positive x-value, then become negative (below the x-axis).
36. Your graph should be discontinuous at the cusp since the function
is not differentiable at that point.
40. a = f, b = f'' and c = f'.
42. The first derivative of the cost of living function is positive since the
cost rises but the second derivative is negative because it is rising
at a slower rate (slopes decreasing means concave down).
