Homework for Wednesday 7 March

For the notes from the class, see this post.

Homework:
• Make sure that your citytech email address is in the User information in WeBWorK. There are still a few students who have not done this. (It was supposed to be done at the start of the semester.)

• Review the use of the various derivative rules, particularly the Product Rule and the Quotient Rule

• Do the WeBWorK on Derivatives-ProductQuotient, and at least start the assignment on Higher Derivatives. Problem 8 in Derivatives-ProductQuotient is extra credit.

• Use the Quotient Rule to show that the derivative of $\cot(x)$ is $-\csc^{2}(x)$, and the derivative of $\sec(x)$ is $\tan(x)\sec(x)$ (remember that $\sec(x) = \frac{1}{\cos(x)$).

• Also do the following problems from the textbook:

 P. 94: 15, 17, 18, 19, 23, 25, 29, 31+32 (tangent line only), 34, 39

• There will be a Quiz on Wednesday: it will be on the Product Rule and/or Quotient Rule (and you also need to know the other rules then, of course.)

 

Don’t forget, if you get stuck on a problem, you can post a question on Piazza. Make sure to give your question a good subject line and tell us the problem itself – we need this information in order to answer your question. And please only put one problem per posted question!
