1. (10 points) Use the chain rule to compute the derivatives of these functions:
2 x
(i) (7 points) f (x) = cos 1−x
2 x
(ii) (3 points) f (x) = cos4 1−x
(Note: this is just the 4th power of the function in
part (i), so most of the work is already done!)
2. (10 points) The equation
y 3 + 7y = x3
determines y as an implicit function y = f (x). Find y 0 = Dx (y) and y 00 = Dx2 (y) by
implicit differentiation.
(i) (7 points) y 0 =
(ii) (3 points) y 00 =
