1. Do not turn the page until told to do so. 2. It is a violation of the university honor code to, in any way assist another person in the completion of this exam. Please keep your own work covered up as much as possible during the exam so that others will not be tempted or distracted. Thank you for your cooperation. Violations can result in expulsion from the university. 3. You may use 1 page (Standard 8.5 × 11 inch) handwritten front and back crib sheet, but no calculator, and no classmates may be used as resources for this exam. 4. Read directions to each problem carefully. Show all work and simplify your answers for full credit. In most cases, a correct answer with no supporting work will receive little to no credit. What you write down and how you write it are the most important means of you scoring well on this exam. Neatness and organization are also important. 5. You may NOT use shortcuts for finding limits to infinity. Show enough work for full credit. 6. You will be graded on proper use of mathematical notation. 7. You have until 5:50 PM to finish the exam.

4. (10 points) Graph the function
f(x) =
{ x, 1 ≤ x < 0 tan x 0 ≤ x ≤ π

6. (10 points) Let
f(x) = x
x + 1
g(x) = x5 + 4x
Show that f(x) is increases on every open interval in its domain. Also argue why g(x) can’t have any local extrema (Your argument must be correct and concise).
