MAT 137Y: Calculus! Problem Set 3.

Due in tutorial on October 2728

Instructions: You need to turn in this assignment in the tutorial in which you are enrolled. Before you attempt this problem set, work through the practice problems for sections 3.13.6 (see course website). The practice problems are easier and you have solutions for them. Please read A note on collaboration on section 6 of the course outline. Write your full name, student number, and tutorial code on your paper. If you use more than one page, staple them.

1. Compute the derivatives of the following functions. You do not need to simplify your results. Box your nal answers. (a) f (x) = sin2 x + sin(x2 ) + sin(2x) + (sin 2)x + 2 sin x x + sin x (b) f (x) = x + cos x (c) f (x) = tan 2 + sin(x2 + x)

2. Here is the graph of a function g :

-1 -1 -2

Calculate the following derivatives: (a) d g (x2 3) at x = 2. dx

(b)

d [xg (x)] at x = 2.5. dx 3 g (x + 1) x+8+2 d (c) dx cos(tan(sin(tan(sin x))))

at x = 0

3. In this problem, we are going to learn why we prefer to measure angles in radians rather than in degrees. (Spoiler alert: formulas and identities are simpler when we use radians.) First, let us x notation. When we write sin x and cos x,

we are referring to the usual sine and cosine functions, where x is assumed to be measured in radians. We are going to introduce two new functions, called S and C, just for this problem. When we write S(x) and C(x), we mean the sine and the cosine of x, respectively, but where x is assumed to be measured in degrees. For example: sin = 1, S = 0.02741 . . . , 2 2 sin(90) = 0.89399 . . . , S(90) = 1. Make sure you understand where these numbers came from before moving on (you may want to use a calculator). (a) There are constants a and b such that sin(x) = S(ax) and S(x) = sin(bx) for every number x. Find those constants. Find similar constants for the functions cos and C. sin x 1 cos x (b) We know that lim = 1 and lim = 0. Use these two results and your x0 x x0 x S(x) 1 C(x) answer to question 3a to calculate lim and lim . x0 x x0 x d d sin x = cos x and cos x = sin x. Use again your answer to (c) We also know that dx dx d question 3a to nd a formula for S(x) in terms of C(x) and to nd a formula for dx d C(x) in terms of S(x). dx (d) Another trig identity we like is the famous sin2 x + cos2 x = 1. Find the equivalent identity for S(x) and C(x). 4. The Quotient Rule is Theorem 3.2.11 in the book. Write two dierent proofs for it: (a) First, write a proof using the Product Rule and the Reciprocal Rule, by writing 1 f = f . This is the proof suggested in the book. g g (b) Second, write a proof directly from the denition of derivative as a limit, without using any other result. (You may want to study the proof of Theorem 3.2.6 to serve as inspiration.)
