Mathematics 111, Spring Term 2010
Topics List and Sample Problems for the Final Exam
This review sheet consists of main two parts: a list of the topics from which the exam will be
built, and some sample problems. The final exam will be given on Monday, 10 May 2010 at 6:00
p.m. in Harder 202. It will be a cumulative exam, comprising the entire semester. We have
studied parts of the following sections of the text:
Chapter 1, Functions and Models;
Chapter 2, Limits and Derivatives;
Chapter 3, Differentiation Rules;
Chapter 4, Applications of Differentiation;
Chapter 5, Integrals.
Midterm 1:
1) Functions (Sections 1.1-1.3, 1.5-1.6).
a) The concept of a function: input, process, output.
b) Linear functions, slope, intercepts, equations of a line.
c) Functional notation: the function f given by f (x) = (expression in x).
d) Ways to represent functions, such as tables, graphs, expressions, and verbal descriptions.
e) Graph transformations (horizontal and vertical translations, reflections, and stretchings).
f) Composition of functions, inverse functions.
g) Important families of functions: transcendental functions (exponential and logarithmic
functions, trigonometric functions, etc.), and algebraic functions (power functions,
polynomial functions, and rational functions).
h) Idea of mathematical modeling with functions.
2) Limits and Derivatives (Sections 2.1-2.3, 2.5-2.8).
a) Average rates of change and instantaneous rates of change. Units of a rate of change.
b) Concept of limit of a function at a point. Meaning of lim f ( x) , lim f ( x) , etc.

c) Limit “rules” and exact computation of limits using algebraic simplification.
d) Infinite limits and limits at
(or vertical and horizontal asymptotes).
e) The derivative at a point: what it is (i.e., formal definition), how to estimate it, how to
compute it exactly (in certain cases) using algebra, interpretation as slope and instantaneous
rate of change, difference quotients.
f) The derivative function f : what it is, domain of f , ways to approximate or compute f
exactly, tangent slopes and tangent lines.

Derivatives of exponential functions.

arctan).
6. Derivatives of logarithmic functions and logarithmic differentiation.
7. Related rate problems.
8. Implicit functions and implicit differentiation.
9. Higher derivatives ( f , f ,... ).
10. Exponential growth and decay. (Not in Spring 2010.)
11. Linear approximation of a function f at a point (where f is differentiable).
Since the Second Midterm:
1. Maximum and minimum values of a function (both global and local); critical points; extreme
value theorem.
2. Mean value theorem.
3. Use of the first and second derivatives in curve sketching; concavity & points of inflection.
4. L’Hospital’s rule for limits of the form “0/0” and “ / ”; other indeterminate forms.
5. Optimization problems.
6. Antiderivatives; symbolic computation and graphical approximation.
7. The area (under a graph) problem, rectangular approximations to area.
8. The concept of the definite integral of a continuous function (the limit of the Riemann sums as
the number of rectangles n
and the width x of the subintervals 0 ).
9. The geometric interpretation of the definite integral (“signed area”).
10. Properties of definite integrals (linearity, comparison, etc.).
