  1. For each of the following formulas find the derivative formula. (8 pts each)

(a) g(x) = − 3 x^2 + 5x − 2 x−^4.

(b) y =

2 x^2 − 2 x^2

(c) f (x) = 2x^2 + 3 ln x.

(d) y = (3x^3 + 15x − x−^1 )^6.

(e) f (x) =

(2x^2 − x)^5

(f) y = (ln (x))e^3 x.

(g) y = 12x + x 3

3 x + 2.

  1. Find the change and the average rate of change for the function y = 3x + x^3 from x = 1 to x = 3. (8 pts)
  1. Use the limit definition of the derivative to find f ′(x) where f (x) = 2x^2 − 3. (8 pts)
