Sample Questions

1multiple choice

The first principle of differentiation states that f'(x) equals:

Show answer

lim_{h→0} [f(x+h)−f(x)]/h

First principle: f'(x) = lim_{h→0} [f(x+h)−f(x)]/h. This is the definition of derivative.

2multiple choice

The derivative of f(x) = x at x = 1 is:

Show answer

1

f'(x) = lim_{h→0} [(x+h)−x]/h = 1. So f'(1) = 1.

3multiple choice

Geometrically, f'(a) represents:

Show answer

Slope of tangent to curve y=f(x) at x=a

The derivative f'(a) equals the slope of the tangent line to the curve y = f(x) at (a, f(a)).

4multiple choice

d/dx(tan x) equals:

Show answer

sec²x

Standard result: d/dx(tan x) = sec²x.
