Assignment 1

Calculus I
Math 151 - D100 (Fall 2014)
Quiz date: Friday September 12th
Note: This rst homework assignment is short reecting the fact that it only covers the
material from one lecture (the tangent and velocity problems from section 2.1).
Instructions: Complete this assignment by Monday in your homework journal. This
will give you plenty of time to make sure you understand the material before the quiz at
the end of Fridays class.
Suggestions for using your homework journal:
Do rough work on scratch paper
If you nd one solution, try to nd another (a simpler solution may reveal itself ).
When you nd a solution, try to see it as a whole without all the little details.
Do questions in order and clearly label question and section numbers.
Grade your own assignment when solutions are posted. Catch your mistakes now
when the stakes are low rather than making them on exams.
Important: Your solutions should be in a form that another student could understand
without undue eort: a poorly expressed but correct result is not sucient.

Additional questions:
These questions are made up by your instructor and may require a blend of
ideas that we have encountered so far in the course. They are similar to exam style
questions in that it is not entirely clear what section of the text is directly related to
solving the problem. You will have to decide what tools/techniques are required.
A1. Let f be a one-to-one function whose inverse is given by the formula
f
1
(x) = x
5
+ 2x
3
+ 3x + 1 (1)
1. Compute f
1
(1) and f(1).
2. Compute the value of x
0
such that f(x
0
) = 1.
3. Compute the value of y
0
such that f
1
(y
0
) = 1.
4. Below is a graph of f
1
(x). Draw an approximate graph of f.

A2. Consider the graph below of the distance of a moving object as a function of
time. Use the graph to answer the following questions. In some cases, your answer
may be approximate.
1. Find the average velocity between t = 0 and t = 5 seconds
2. Find the average velocity between t = 5 and t = 8 seconds
3. Draw a tangent line to the curve at t = 0.5 seconds and use that to estimate
the instantaneous velocity at that point.
4. At what time does the object appear to moving the fastest? the slowest?

(i) f g

(iii) f f
(iv) g g
and state their domains given that f(x) = x +

and g(x) = sin(2x).

Extra-Practice Questions:
Try these questions for some more practice. The more practice you get the better
you will understand the material and the better you will do on quizzes and exams.

(Stewart) Section 1.2: 3, 4, 5, 11, 15
(Stewart) Section 1.3: 3, 7, 11, 13, 19, 20, 29, 31, 33, 35, 39, 43, 54, 59, 63

Legend (for type of question):
RE = Routine Exercise: This is something you should be able to do in your sleep ;-). Your goal is to be
able to answer these questions quickly and accurately every time. These form the foundations of your
skill set.
TC = Time Challenge: The most important part about solving problems is getting the answer right,
i.e., accuracy. Speed, however, is a factor on quizzes and midterm exams, and an indication of how well
you have practiced. Try to do these questions within the time limit, usually 5 minutes. If you need
more time than that, its o.k., but keep practicing!
WP = Word Problem: Translating words into expressions (also known as modeling): Master this skill
now, we will using this all term.
CD = Concepts and Denitions: These questions relate to your understanding of the new language
we are introducing. They should help you remember the important denitions and theorems.
CE = Concepts and Explorations: This indicates a question which is testing your understanding of the
fundamentals. It is not a routine exercise since the solution process may not be obvious at rst glance.
It may take a little bit of thought to gure out what to do, dont be afraid to play around with some
ideas. Youll learn more by making mistakes and taking routes which lead to dead ends. You must be
able to do these types of questions to succeed in learning this material.
HL = Higher Level Understanding: This indicates a question which is testing understanding at a higher
level. These questions will require more thought than a RE or CE so dont be discouraged if you cant see
how to do this immediately. Perseverance and playing around with ideas is the key to these questions.
Understanding this material at this level is an expected outcome of this course.
CM = Computer of Computational Device: This indicates a question in which a computer or calculator
is needed.
