Reviews for Tests

Test 1 Review

Go here to access all the finals mentioned and do the indicated problems.

  • Spring 2009: 14

  • Fall 2009: (none)

  • Spring 2010: 13

  • Fall 2010: 5, 12

  • Fall 2011: 8(a), 10

  • The material for quizzes 2 through 5.

  • In short: know how to take all sorts of limits; infinite or otherwise. Remember all your techniques, grasshoppers! And remember all your algebra and precalc! Know the definition of continuity and how to apply it to determine where functions are continuous. Also know how to use the definition of continuity to make piece-wise functions with arbitrary variables continuous. Know the intermediate value theorem and how to apply it to verify the existence of roots of an expression or the existence of solutions to equations. Know when the IVT can be applied. Be able to state the theorem. Also be able to state any definitions that have been given. (What is a function? What does it mean for a function to be continuous at a point? etc) Be able to set up and simplify various composite functions from given functions. Know how to set up a difference quotient.

Test 2 Review

Go here to access all the finals mentioned and do the indicated problems.

  • Spring 2009: 1, 2, 3, 7, 8, 11(a), 13, 15

  • Fall 2009: 1, 3, 7(a), 8, 11(a)

  • Spring 2010: 1, 3, 4, 6, 7, 10(b)

  • Fall 2010: 1, 3, 7, 9, 11

  • Fall 2011: 1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 12(a)

The WebAssign chapter reviews might also come in handy. Though I will probably base the format for the test more off the past finals--but, of course, problems that are a bit harder :p

Test 3 Review

Go here to access all the finals mentioned and do the indicated problems.

  • Spring 2009: 4, 10, 12, 15

  • Fall 2009: 2(a),(b)*; 5; 6; 9; 11(a)

  • Spring 2010: 2(a),(c)*; 8; 9; 10(a)

  • Fall 2010: 2(a),(d); 3*; 4; 6; 8; 10(b)

  • Fall 2011: 2(a), 6, 8, 9(b), 12(b), 13

Note: The material from Appendix B is also on this test, but problems involving that material on the final will also include Riemann sums, which is in chapter 4, and hence I cannot give you practice problems from the finals to cover this topic. However, whatever is asked on the test regarding Appendix B will be VERY close to the the homework. So go over the written HW and WebAssign carefully for Appendix B. It will also serve as a review for the test.

*Fall 2009, 2(b) should be doable by what we discussed in class after applying the appropriate trig identity. We will learn another way to do this after we've done "substitution" from chapter 4.

*Spring 2010, 2(c): ignore the numbers on the integral sign. We will learn how to deal with them after we talk about definite integrals and the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus (part duex) in chapter 4.

*Fall 2010, 3: you can do this with your current knowledge because the function in "well-behaved". We will cover a general method of finding the distance traveled using definite integrals later.

Test 4 Review

Go here to access all the finals mentioned and do the indicated problems.

  • Spring 2009: 5, 6, 9, 11(b)

  • Fall 2009: 2, 4, 7(b), 10(b), 11(b)

  • Spring 2010: 2, 5, 11, 12

  • Fall 2010: 2, 3 (do this using a definite integral), 10(a)

  • Fall 2011: 2, 4, 9(a), 11

The WebAssign chapter reviews might also come in handy.

Also, the next chapter in the text talks about inverse functions, and also the exponential and logarithm functions. Students moving on to math 209 would be expected to know everything in sections 5.2 through 5.4. Section 5.1 is a good section to know for general knowledge. And math 202 students will start there when they take calc 2.
