Make me a prelims test for differential calculus multiple choice 1-100, covering limits, exponential and logarithmic functions, derivatives, polynomial and rational functions, power rule, constant rule, constant multiple, general power rule, sum rule, difference rule, product rule, and quotient rule. Also, include a question that is not just about solving.
Understand the Problem
The question is requesting the creation of a prelims test covering various topics in differential calculus that includes multiple choice questions. The topics specified include limits, exponential and logarithmic functions, derivatives, and specific derivative rules such as Power Rule, Constant Rule, and others. Additionally, a question that requires more than just solving is also requested.
Answer
Five sample multiple-choice questions include limits, derivatives, and an explanation of the relationship between a function and its graph.
Answer for screen readers
Here are five sample multiple-choice questions for the prelims test:
-
What is the limit of $f(x) = \frac{2x^2 + 3x - 1}{x - 1}$ as $x$ approaches 1? A) 0 B) 1 C) 5 D) Undefined
-
What is the derivative of $f(x) = e^x$? A) $e^x$ B) $xe^{x-1}$ C) $1$ D) None of the above
-
If $f(x) = \ln(x^2)$, what is $f'(x)$? A) $\frac{1}{x}$ B) $\frac{2}{x}$ C) $2 \ln(x)$ D) $x\ln(x)$
-
What is the derivative of $f(x) = 3x^4 - 5x + 7$? A) $12x^3 - 5$ B) $15x^4 - 5$ C) $0$ D) None of the above
-
Explain how the derivative of a function relates to its graph. Describe the behavior of a function at points where the derivative is 0.
Steps to Solve
-
Identify Topics for the Test First, list the different topics that will be included in the prelims test based on the given requirements: limits, exponential functions, logarithmic functions, derivatives, and specific derivative rules such as the Power Rule and Constant Rule.
-
Create Multiple Choice Questions For each topic, formulate questions that assess the understanding of the key concepts. Here are some examples to consider:
-
Limits: What is the limit of $f(x) = \frac{2x^2 + 3x - 1}{x - 1}$ as $x$ approaches 1? A) 0 B) 1 C) 5 D) Undefined
-
Exponential Functions: What is the derivative of $f(x) = e^x$? A) $e^x$ B) $xe^{x-1}$ C) $1$ D) None of the above
-
Logarithmic Functions: If $f(x) = \ln(x^2)$, what is $f'(x)$? A) $\frac{1}{x}$ B) $\frac{2}{x}$ C) $2 \ln(x)$ D) $x\ln(x)$
- Include Derivative Rules Questions Formulate questions that require application of specific derivative rules:
- What is the derivative of $f(x) = 3x^4 - 5x + 7$? A) $12x^3 - 5$ B) $15x^4 - 5$ C) $0$ D) None of the above
- Design a Question Requiring More Thought Create a conceptual question that requires deeper understanding, such as:
- Explain how the derivative of a function relates to its graph. Consider how you would describe the behavior of a function at points where the derivative is 0.
- Review and refine the questions Make sure all questions are clear, concise, and correctly formatted. Ensure that the questions (and answers) are accurate and correspond to the topics specified.

More Information
These questions cover key aspects of differential calculus, allowing students to demonstrate their understanding of limits, derivatives, and the relationship between a function and its graph. Including multiple choice and a more conceptual question provides a balanced assessment of student knowledge.
Tips
- Confusing the rules of differentiation, especially the application of the Power Rule and Constant Rule.
- Misinterpreting limit questions, such as incorrectly evaluating a limit when approaching a discontinuity.
- Failing to clearly explain the conceptual relationship between the derivative and the graph in the open-ended question.
