Instructions:
You may only use your MATH1200 calculator. Sharing of calculators is not allowed.
Show all of your work to receive full credit.
The work you show on your exam paper should be organized, clear and concise. f can't
understand what you did, you will not receive any points for that question.
Leave answers in reduced fractions, unless a decimal approximation is requested.
Reminder: the minimum penalty for cheating of any kind on an exam is failure of the course.
Find the derivative of the functions listed below using the derivative rules we have learned,
NOT the formal definition. Please show any work that leads you to your derivative, as you may
earn partial credit. You do not need to sim pli fy your answers.
