Let $g\left(x\right)=\int_0^xf\left(t\right)dt$ , where the graph of f is shown above.  On what interval(s) is g decreasing?

• [2,8]

• [0,5]

• [2,5]

• [-5,-2]U[0,5]

Answer explanation

since g'=f, g is decreasing when f is negative.

If $w\left(x\right)=f\left(x\right)q\left(x\right)$ , then  $w'\left(x\right)=$   

•  $f'\left(x\right)q'\left(x\right)$  

•  $f'\left(x\right)q'\left(x\right)+f\left(x\right)q\left(x\right)$  

•  $f'\left(q\left(x\right)\right)q'\left(x\right)$  

•  $f'\left(x\right)q\left(x\right)+f\left(x\right)q'\left(x\right)$  

Answer explanation

For the function f, it is known that $\lim_{x\rightarrow-1^-}f'\left(x\right)=\lim_{x\rightarrow-1^+}f'\left(x\right)$  .  Which of the following must be true?

I.  f is continuous at x = -1

II.  f is differentiable at x = -1

• Both I and II

• I only

• II only

• Neither I or II

Answer explanation

Since we know the right and left hand limits are equal, the limit must exist, but since we do not know whether this limit equals f(-1), we cannot conclude with certainty that f is continuous at x=-1.  Since continuity cannot be established, we cannot establish differentiability, which has continuity as a requirement.

 $\frac{d}{dx}\left(\frac{1}{1-2x}\right)$  equals

•  $-\frac{2}{\left(1-2x\right)^2}$  

•  $-2\ln\left|1-2x\right|$  

•  $\frac{2}{\left(1-2x\right)^2}$  

•  $-\frac{1}{2}\ln\left|1-2x\right|$  

Answer explanation

Taking the derivative will not use ln. Use the power and chain rule:
