Writing Test #2

Some random thoughts about test #2:
- You will not need any trig identities (don't worry, we'll use plenty later)
- There will be about 23 questions (about 6 multiple choice worth about 30%)
- Partial credit may be given for free response, but not for multiple choice
- Know all the basic differentiation rules!
- Many questions will involve the chain rule with other rules
- Velocity is derivative of position and acceleration is derivative of velocity
- Almost 1/2 of the test questions have format: given f(x), find f '(x)
- Nearly everything on the test outline is covered (http://bit.ly/cgeYV8)
- No questions requiring "two special trig limits" on test outline
- You may need to find 2nd derivative implicitly, but not as messy as 2.8 #25
- There will be a cover sheet on which you will write all final answers

Remember to have your 2.8-2.9 solutions prepared and be ready for the derivative rule quiz!
