    Part 1 – L’Hospital’s Rule


    1. What conditions does L’Hospital’s Rule need so that the following limit equation is true?
    𝑓(𝑥) 𝑓′(𝑥)
    lim = lim
    𝑥→𝑎 𝑔(𝑥) 𝑥→𝑎 𝑔′(𝑥)

    2. Give three examples of limits where L’Hospital’s Rule cannot be used.


    3. Can L’Hospital’s Rule be used to find lim 𝑒 𝑥 ? Explain your answer.
    𝑥→0

    4. Can L’Hospital’s Rule be used to find lim ? Explain your answer.
    𝑥→∞ 𝑒 𝑥
    5. Use L’Hospital’s Rule to find the following limits.
    𝑥 2 −3𝑥+4 𝑥2
    a. lim e. lim
    𝑥→∞ 5𝑥 2 −2𝑥+5 𝑥→∞ 𝑒 𝑥

    −7𝑥 2 +4 1−cos 𝑥
    b. lim f. lim

    𝑥 2 −3𝑥+4 sin 𝑥
    c. lim g. lim

    sin 𝑥+𝑥
    3𝑥 4 h. lim
    d. lim 𝑥→0 𝑥
    𝑥→∞ 𝑒 𝑥 −2𝑥

    Part 2 – Mean Value Theorem and Rolle’s Theorem


    The Mean Value Theorem tells us that for a nice function that is continuous on [𝑎, 𝑏] and differentiable on
    𝑓(𝑏)−𝑓(𝑎)
    (𝑎, 𝑏) we can always find a point 𝑥 = 𝑐 where 𝑓 ′ (𝑐) = .
    𝑏−𝑎

    6. Explain why the function needs to be continuous to apply the Mean Value Theorem.

    7. Explain why the function needs to be differentiable to apply the Mean Value Theorem.

    8. Use the Mean Value Theorem to find the point 𝑥 = 𝑐 as indicated above.
    a. 𝑓(𝑥) = 3𝑥 3 + 2𝑥 + 1 on the interval [−1, 1]

    b. 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 𝑐𝑜𝑠(𝜋𝑥) on the interval [−2, 2]

    c. 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 3 on the interval [0, 2]

    d. 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 3 + 2𝑥 + 1 on [0, 6]

    e. 𝑓(𝑥) = ln(𝑥 + 1) on [0, 𝑒 − 1]

    Rolle’s Theorem tells us that for a nice function that is continuous on [𝑎, 𝑏] and differentiable on (𝑎, 𝑏) and
    where 𝑓(𝑎) = 𝑓(𝑏) then we can always find a point 𝑥 = 𝑐 that is a stationary point, that is a point where
    𝑓 ′ (𝑐) = 0.
    9. Are the Mean Value Theorem and Rolle’s Theorem ever equivalent? If so, give an example. If not,
    explain why.
    10. Determine an interval, if one exists, where Rolle’s Theorem can be applied. If such an interval exists,
    then apply Rolle’s theorem to find a stationary point.
    a. 𝑓(𝑥) = sin 𝑥

    b. 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 3

    c. 𝑓(𝑥) = 2𝑥 2 − 3𝑥 + 4

    d. 𝑓(𝑥) = √𝑥 2 + 4

    11. Use Rolle’s Theorem to find the stationary point 𝑥 = 𝑐 on the given interval.
    a. 𝑓(𝑥) = cos 2𝑥 on [−1, 1]

    b. 𝑓(𝑥) = 𝑥 2 − 2 on [−√2, √2]

    c. 𝑓(𝑥) = sin 𝑥 − 1 on [0, 𝜋]

    Part 3 – Maximums and Minimums


    The First Derivative Test tells us how to determine if a stationary point is a local maximum, local minimum, or
    an inflection point (a point where the curve of the function changes but is not a maximum nor a minimum.
    The Extreme Value Theorem tells us that for a nice function that is continuous on [𝑎, 𝑏] and differentiable on
    (𝑎, 𝑏) there is always an absolute maximum and an absolute minimum within the interval [𝑎, 𝑏].
    12. Use the first derivative test to find all local maximums and minimums on the given interval then use the
    extreme value theorem to find the absolute maximums and minimums on the given interval.
    a. 𝑓(𝑥) = 4𝑥 3 + 2𝑥 2 − 𝑥 on [−1, 1]

    b. 𝑓(𝑥) = 4𝑥 2 + 2𝑥 − 1 on [−1, 0.5]
