Question 1. (10 points) Determine whether the following statements are true or false, and circle
your response. Please give a brief explanation (in a complete sentence!) a reason why its true,
or an example where it fails.
(a) If g(x) is one-to-one and differentiable at every point in R, then its reciprocal
differentiable at every point in its domain.
If g(x) is such a function, then let f(x) denote

(b) I f f ( x) a nd g (x) b oth o ne-to-one f un
. Using the quotient rule, we see that (x)

g(x)
g all x such that g(x) = 0. This is because g(x) is
g(x)2
differentiable at every point in R. The domain of f(x) is all points such that g(x) = 0, and so
f(x) is differentiable at every point in its domain.
derivative of f exists and is equal to
(b) The derivative of an even function is an odd functrion.
Let f(x) be an even function. Let a denote a point at which f is differentiable. Then f is
differentiable at a because f is symmetric across the y-axis, and
f(a + h) f(a)
h 0

f(a h) f(a)
= lim
, because f is even

f(a + k) f(a)

f(a + k) f(a)
= lim
k 0

f(a + k) f(a)
= lim

= f (a)
f (a) = lim
So we conclude that f (x) is an odd function.
A trickier way to solve the question is to notice that f(a) f(a) = 0. Differentiating and
using the chain rule, we see that f (a) (f (a)) = 0. So we conclude that f"(x) is odd.

Question 2. (10 points) Find the equation for the line tangent to the curve
2xy + sin(y) = 2
at the point (1, ).
We begin by implicitly differentiating the equation we are given, to get
2xy + 2y + cos(y)y = 0
Next we solve for y when x = 1 and y = .
0 = 2y + 2 + cos()y
= 2y + 2 y
= y + 2
We conclude that at the point (1, ) we must have that y = 2. Now we have the slope of the
tangent line we want, and one point on the line, so we solve for the y-intercept.
y = 2x + b
= 2 1 + b
3 = b
So the equation for the tangent line is y = 2x + 3.
