e) inflection points if they exist _________________________________________________
f) find the absolute maximum and minimum, if either exists, for f (x) on –1 < x < 2

2. (10 points) Use the information below to graph the f (x)
Domain: All real x, except x = –2 and x = 2
f (0) = 0 f (3) = 0
f ' (x) > 0 on (–∞, –2), (–2, 0) and (2, ∞)
f ' (x) < 0 on (0, 2)
f '' (x) < 0 on (–2, 2) and (2,∞)
f '' (x) > 0 on (–∞, –2)
vertical asymptote x = –2 and x = 2
horizontal asymptote y = 1
3. (10 points) Find the equation of the tangent line for the function
4. (10 points) Use logarithmic differentiation to find the derivative of :
at x = 1
5. (10 points each) Differentiate each of the following. DO NOT SIMPLIFY.
a) y = x 2 e 3x + 1
b) f (x) = (ln (x + 2)) 5
6. (10 points) Find the indefinite integral
a)  (4x 5 – 3 + ) dx
b)
7. (12 points) A farmer wants to fence a corral next to a barn. He wants to separate the corral into equal sections.
The total area for the corrals must equal 1200 square feet. What are the dimensions of the pasture if he wants to
minimize the fencing? (check to make sure that this is a maximum!)
