MATH 105 EXAM 2 March 19, 2010

Name:

Your grade is based on correctness, completeness, and clarity on each

exercise. You may use a calculator, but no notes, books, or other students.
Good luck!

6.) (10 pts.) Find an antiderivative F (x) of the function f (x) = . Be sure to
ex + tan x
check your answer, and show how you check it.

7.) (10 pts.) Is g(s) = ((s + 1)2 + 1)e−s an antiderivative of h(s) = s2 e−s ? Justify your
answer.

8.) (20 pts.) A rectangular flower garden with an area of 30 m2 is surrounded by a grass
border 1 m wide on two sides and 2 m wide on the other two sides. (See figure.) What
dimensions of the garden minimize the combined area of the garden and borders? (Be sure
to verify that you have achieved a minimum combined area.)
