Quizzes
For Exam 1
Quiz 1 (29 Aug 2023) [soln]: #1: Solve $x^2+3x+1=0$. #2: Solve $2^{x+1}=3^{3x-2}$.
Quiz 2 (31 Aug 2023) [soln]: Compute limits based on a graph (see pdf)
Quiz 3 (7 Sep 2023) [soln]: Compute $\displaystyle\lim_{t \rightarrow 2} \dfrac{t^2-t-2}{t^2+3t-10}$.
For Exam 2
Quiz 4 (12 Sep 2023) []: Use the intermediate value theorem to estimate a root of the polynomial $f(x)=x^7-5x^6+x^5-x^2+5x-1$. Your solution should contain at least two steps in the root-finding process. (note: $x=1$ is a root -- don't use that as an endpoint of any interval!)
Quiz 5 (19 Sep 2023) []: Let $f(t)=2t^2+3t$. Use the limit definition of the derivative to compute $\dfrac{\mathrm{d}f}{\mathrm{d}t}$.
Quiz 6 (22 Sep 2023) []: Compute $\dfrac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}x} \Big[ x^7 - 5x^6 + x^5 - x^2 + 5x -1 \Big]$.
