A/ Differentiate :
| 1) applying the rules of logs:  |
2) f (x) = ln (cos 2x + sin 2x) – 5 arcsec x² (cos 2x) ' = –2 sin 2x, and (sin 2x) ' = 2 cos 2x first fraction is du/u (derivative of ln u) 2nd fraction is derivative of arcsec u. 
|
| 3) g (t) = ln² (3t + 1) using chain rule,we get:
 |
4) h (x) = csc (ln x) + arctan 5x – arccos (x³ + 7) 1st fraction: (csc u) ' = – du csc u cot u with u = ln x. 2nd fraction: (arctan u) ' = du / (u² + 1) with u = 5x. 3rd fraction: [– arccos u] ' = – du / (1 – u²)½ with u = ( x³ + 7). 
|
| 5) we have y = e x ² – 3 + (7) x – 1/x – log 3 (x³ – 5x) 1st term: exp u, base e so (e u ) ' = du e u, with u = x² – 3 2nd term:exp u, base a = 7 so (a u ) ' = du a u ln a, with u = x – 1/x. 3rd term: log u, base a = 3 so (log a u) ' = du /u ln a,with u = (x³ – 5x)

B/ Use implicit or logarithmic differentiation to find y'.
1) y ² e 2x + xy³ = 1
Both terms are products, so 2y y' e 2x + 2e 2x y 2 + y 3 + 3xy 2 y' = 0 (divide through by y)
Solving for y' we get 
2) y = (x + 4) x ² – 1 .
taking ln of both sides, we get, ln y = (x 2 – 1) ln (x + 4)
We'll use the product rule with u = (x 2 – 1) and v = ln (x + 4).
Once we have y'/y, we'll multiply both sides by y to find y ' as required.
Therefore,

C/ Find an equation for the tangent
1) The slope of the tangent = – ½, so y' = – e – x = – ½.
This means that ½ = 1/e x, therefore e x = 2, so x = ln 2 and y = ½
The equation of the tangent is:
2) When x = 2, y = ln 2 and y' = 1/x.
The equation of the tangent is:

D/
1) Rewrite as an algebraic expression in x: (diagram)
a) arctan (x + 1)/5 is an angle A with opposite = (x + 1), adjacent = 5.
b) arccos (–7/x) is an angle B with adjacent = –7, hypotenuse = x.

2) We need equations for the tangent and normal lines to
y = arcsin (x – 1) at the point P 
.
Since the derivative is the slope of the tangent, we find the
value of y' at x = 3/2. The derivative of arcsin u = du / (u² – 1)½.
therefore, 
Now we write 
for the tangent, and 
for the normal.
The equation of the tangent line is 
The equation of the normal line is

3) We have to analyze and graph y = e – x ² , which is e u with u = – x².
Step 1: Intercepts and Asymptotes
intercept: set x = 0, we get e 0 = 1; intercept is (0 , 1)
asymptote: since e – x ² is positive (> 0) for all values of x, asymptote is y = 0 (x-axis)
Step 2: 1st derivative for Critical Points, Increasing and Decreasing intervals.
The derivative is du e u which is – 2x (e – x ² ), or in fraction form:
the denominator is always > 0, so y ' = 0 at x = 0 critical point.
the numerator determines the sign so y ' < 0 when x > 0 (decreasing interval)
and y ' > 0 when x < 0 (increasing interval)
Since the curve increases left of 0 and decreases right of 0,
we have a maximum at x = 0.
Step 3: 2nd derivative for Concavity and Points of Inflection.
Now we differentiate – 2x (e – x ² ) using the product rule and some factoring to get:
y ' = – 2 (e – x ² ) – 2x (– 2x e – x ² ) = – 2 e – x ²(1 – 2x² ), or in fraction form:
again the denominator is always > 0, so y '' = 0 when (1 – 2x² ) = 0
which means 
for points of inflection.
we find the sign of y '' by substituting x-values of –1, 0 and +1
into the numerator which is – 2 (1 – 2x² )
we find y '' < 0 (concave down) on 
(between inflection points)
y '' < 0 (concave up) on 
(beyond inflection points)
| Max: (0, 1) Min: none |
Intercept: (0, 1) |
Inflection Points:  |
| Asymptotes: y = 0 |
Concave Up:  Concave Down:  |
Increasing: x < 0 Decreasing: x > 0 Symmetry: to y-axis. |

4) We know that 
so, with the antidifferentiation power rule, on (– 3x – 4 ), we get;
f ' (x) = x – 3 + C, and since f ' (1) = – 1, C = – 2.
so f ' (x) = x – 3 – 2.
Now we antidifferentiate this to get;
f (x) = – ½ x – 2 – 2x + D and substituting f (1) = ½, we find D = 3.
So f (x) = – ½ x – 2 – 2x + 3.
