What is the limit as x approaches 3 of the function f(x) = 2x + 1?
9
7
8
6
By directly substituting x = 3 into the function, we get f(3) = 2(3) + 1 = 7. The function is continuous, so the limit is simply the value at x = 3.
What is the derivative of the constant function f(x) = 5?
1
5
10
0
The derivative of any constant is 0 because a constant does not change with respect to x. This is a fundamental rule in differentiation.
If f(x) = x^2, what is the derivative f'(x)?
2x
x^2
1
x
Using the power rule, the derivative of x^2 is 2x. The power rule states that for any function of the form x^n, the derivative is n*x^(n-1).
What is the indefinite integral of 1 with respect to x?
1/x + C
x + C
C

9x^2 - 2
9x^2 - 2 + 4
3x^2 - 2
9x^2 - 2x
Differentiate each term separately using the power rule: the derivative of 3x^3 is 9x^2, of -2x is -2, and the derivative of 4 is 0. Adding these gives the correct derivative 9x^2 - 2.
Evaluate the limit: lim(x→0) (sin x)/x.

Integrating 2x using the power rule for integration gives x^2 plus a constant of integration, C. This follows from the rule ∫x^n dx = x^(n+1)/(n+1) + C.
If g(x) = e^x, what is g'(x)?
xe^(x-1)
e^(x-1)
e^x + C

The derivative of e^x is e^x because the exponential function is unique in that it is its own derivative. This property is one of the defining features of the exponential function.
Determine the derivative of h(x) = sin(x) * cos(x).
sin^2(x) - cos^2(x)
sin(x) * cos(x)
cos(x) - sin(x)
cos^2(x) - sin^2(x)
Using the product rule and trigonometric identities, the derivative of sin(x)cos(x) is cos^2(x) - sin^2(x). This result is also recognized as the cosine double-angle formula.

-sin(x) + C
cos(x) + C
-cos(x) + C
sin(x) + C
The integral of cos(x) is sin(x) plus the constant of integration, C, since the derivative of sin(x) is cos(x). This is a direct application of basic integration rules.
What is the second derivative of f(x) = x^3?
6x
6
x
3x^2
First, differentiate x^3 to obtain 3x^2; then differentiate 3x^2 to get 6x. This step-by-step differentiation demonstrates the application of the power rule twice.

x
2x

The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus states that if F(x) is an antiderivative of f(x), then F'(x) = f(x). Since the integrand is 2x, F'(x) is 2x.
Find the derivative of f(x) = 1/x.
-1/x^2
-x
x
1/x^2
Rewriting 1/x as x^(-1), differentiate using the power rule to obtain -1*x^(-2), which simplifies to -1/x^2. This is a common differentiation result for reciprocal functions.
Evaluate the limit: lim(x→0) (1 + x)^(1/x).
0
Infinity
1
e
This limit is a classic definition of the mathematical constant e. Recognizing this limit and applying logarithmic properties confirms that the answer is e.
Find the derivative of f(x) = (2x^2 + 3)^4 using the chain rule.
16x*(2x^2+3)^3
16*(2x^2+3)^3
8x*(2x^2+3)^3
4*(2x^2+3)^3
By applying the chain rule, first differentiate the outer function and then multiply by the derivative of the inner function (2x^2+3). This yields 4*(2x^2+3)^3*4x, which simplifies to 16x*(2x^2+3)^3.
Determine the indefinite integral ∫ x * e^(x^2) dx.
2*e^(x^2) + C
e^(x^2) + C
x*e^(x^2) + C
0.5*e^(x^2) + C
Using the substitution method with u = x^2 (so that du = 2x dx), the integral simplifies to (1/2)*∫ e^u du. This results in 0.5*e^(x^2) + C.
Given the equation y = x^y, find dy/dx using implicit differentiation.
y ln(x)/x
y/(x(1 - ln(x)))
y^2/(x(1 - y ln(x)))
x/(y(1 - y ln(x)))
Taking the natural logarithm of both sides yields ln(y) = y ln(x). Differentiating implicitly and solving for dy/dx leads to the result: dy/dx = y^2/(x(1 - y ln(x))).
Determine the definite integral of f(x) = x sin(x) from x = 0 to x = π.
-π
0
π
2π
Using integration by parts, let u = x and dv = sin(x) dx. Evaluating the resulting expression from 0 to π yields π as the final answer.

Calc Quiz: Practice Test & Review Cheat Sheet

  1. Understanding Limits - Limits show how functions behave as they zoom in on a specific point, like sin(x)/x approaching 1 as x approaches 0. Mastering limits gives you the superpower to predict function behavior and leads directly into the world of derivatives. GeeksforGeeks: Calculus Formulas
  2. Definition of the Derivative - The derivative f'(x) is defined as the limit of the difference quotient: f'(x) = limₕ→0 [f(x+h) - f(x)]/h, capturing the instantaneous rate of change at a point. Think of it as measuring slope so closely that you can see every tiny twist and turn of the curve. OpenStax: Derivative Key Concepts
  3. Power Rule for Differentiation - The power rule d/dx[x❿] = n·x❿❻¹ makes differentiating polynomials a breeze by simply bringing down the exponent and reducing it by one. It's your shortcut to quickly tackle any x-based power function without breaking a sweat. OpenStax: Derivative Key Concepts
  4. Trigonometric Derivatives - Knowing that d/dx[sin(x)] = cos(x), d/dx[cos(x)] = - sin(x), and d/dx[tan(x)] = sec²(x) unlocks the door to analyzing waves, circles, and periodic motion. These formulas are essential for anything from simple oscillations to complex signal processing. OpenStax: Derivative Key Concepts
  5. Chain Rule Magic - The chain rule d/dx[f(g(x))] = f'(g(x)) · g'(x) lets you untangle nested functions by differentiating the outer function and multiplying by the derivative of the inner one. It's like peeling an onion layer by layer to reveal the core rate of change. OpenStax: Derivative Key Concepts
  6. Integration and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus - Integration is the reverse of differentiation and lets you accumulate areas under curves. The Fundamental Theorem of Calculus bridges both worlds: if F is an antiderivative of f, then ∫₝ᵇ f(x) dx = F(b) - F(a), tying rates of change to total accumulation. OpenStax: Integration Equations
