Part B [5 marks]
This part of the assignment is drawn directly from the course texts. It focuses on mathematical exposition;
you will be graded primarily on the clarity and elegance of your solutions.
From the Calculus: Early Transcendentals text, complete question 72 from section 3.3 and question 72 from
section 3.6.
Part C [15 marks]
This part of the assignment consists of more challenging questions. You are expected to provide full solutions
with complete arguments and justifications.
1. Let f1 , f2 , . . . , fn be n differentiable functions. Prove that
0
(f1 f2 · · · fn ) = f10 f2 f3 · · · fn + f1 f20 f3 · · · fn + · · · + f1 f2 · · · fn0 .

3. A nuclear detonation at ground level emits a blast wave that expands radially, like a circular ripple, at
a speed of 30 km/second. Find the rate of expansion of the area contained within the blast wave 0.1
seconds after detonation.
