a) f(x) = 3x^4 - 2x^2 + 5x - 1
b) g(x) = sin(x) + cos(x)
c) h(x) = e^x * x^3
2. What is the derivative of f(x) = (2x + 1)^3?
3(2x+1)^2
6(2x+1)^2
6x(2x+1)^2
3(2x+1)^2 * 2x
3. The derivative dy/dx of the equation x^2 + y^2 = 25 is .
4. If e^(xy) = x - y, then dy/dx is .
5. Find the equation of the tangent line to the curve y = x^3 - 2x + 1 at x = 2.
6. A particle's position is given by s(t) = t^3 - 6t^2 + 9t, where t is in seconds and s is in meters. Find the velocity and acceleration of the particle at t = 2 seconds.
