1. This is a 60 in 60 Challenge: 60 questions in 60 minutes
Some are designated as Calc active.
The expectation is that you’ll be able to get a handle on the solution within a minute, not actually do the question.
The 60 Focused Questions should create a wealth of other questions. Some of the questions are answered in the next slide.

2. #1

3. #1 Solution

4. #2
Find dy/dx for:

5. #2 Solution

6. #3
Doesn’t this allow you to consider all limit questions a) at a point or b) at the infinities as well as any Indeterminate forms (of which this is one)
1/2

7. #3 solution
Use L’Hopital – answer is 1/2

8. #4 Let’s try implicit Diff. again !!!
The above is non-functional. Could you find dy/dx ? dx/dy? The value(s) of y=1? The name of any horizontal/vertical tangents, if they exist?
dy/dx = (4x-y^2)/(2xy -3)

9. #4 Solution dy/dx=(4x – y2)/(2xy – 3)
y = 1 would require finding the value(s)
for x. When y = 1, then x = 3/2 or -1. Note
that for (3/2, 1) the value of dy/dx is
undefined (vertical tangency) and for (-1, 1)
the value of dy/dx is 1.

10. #5
There is no mystery to the question and the key to its solution is to use the Change of Base Formula. Never forget that all derivatives can be checked in some way or another.

A question that demands your understanding of the definition of the derivative. Of course, L’Hopital’s Rule would also be appropriate !
1969 BC #6

23. #11 solution

What is the volume of the solid formed when the region bounded by y = ex, y = ln(1/x), x = .1, &
y = 0 is rotated about the x-axis?
Sketch the region and store the intersection point. This will require two integrations. Be efficient with your use of FnInt.
1.688

29. #14 Solution
NOTE: ln(1/x) is easier to “see” and work with by simplifying
to ln (x-1) which is equivalent to - ln(x)
NOTE: A boundary line of x = .1 is necessary because if the
y-axis is used (w/out the x-axis boundary), then an
improper integral results !!

#18
The 4th degree Taylor polynomial for f about
x = 1 is given by
T(x) = (x -1) + 15(x – 1)2 – 20(x – 1)3 + 25(x – 1)4
Calculate f(1) + f ‘ (1) + f iv (1)

37. #18 solution
T(x) = (x -1) + 15(x – 1)2 – 20(x – 1) (x – 1)4
f(1) = 5
f ‘ (1) = -10
f ‘’ (1) = 30
f ‘’’ (1) = -120
f iv (1) = 600
So, f(1) + f ‘ (1) + f iv (1) = 595

38. #19 Create the 3rd degree Maclaurin polynomial for f(x) = ln(1 – x)
Use this polynomial to approximate ln(3)

39. #19 solution
From previous experience (or memorization) we know ln (1 + x) =
So, ln (1 – x) =
And ln (1 – (-2) ) = ln (3) ≈
NOTE: ln 3 ≈1.0986, so the 3rd degree polynomial is not a great approximation

Item II closely resembles a geometric series with r = 2/3. Convergence must occur
Item III is a p-series with p = ¾ < 1, so it diverges.
