    Preface Here are a set of problems for my Calculus I notes. These problems do not have any solutions available on this site. These are intended mostly for instructors who might want a set of problems to assign for turning in. I try to put up both practice problems (with solutions available) and these problems at the same time so that both will be available to anyone who wishes to use them.

    Outline Here is a list of sections for which problems have been written.

    Introduction Here are a set of problems for which no solutions are available. The main intent of these problems is to have a set of problems available for any instructors who are looking for some extra problems. Note that some sections will have more problems than others and some will have more or less of a variety of problems. Most sections should have a range of difficulty levels in the problems although this will vary from section to section. Here is a list of topics in this chapter that have problems written for them.

Note that the point of these problems is not really to learn how to find the value of trig functions but instead to get you comfortable with the unit circle since that is a very important skill that will be needed in solving trig equations.

    18. We have $2,500 to invest and 80 months. How much money will we have if we put the money into an account that has an annual interest rate of 9% and interest is compounded (a) quarterly (b) monthly (c) continuously 19. We are starting with $60,000 and were going to put it into an account that earns an annual interest rate of 7.5%. How long will it take for the money in the account to reach $100,000 if the interest is compounded (a) quarterly (b) monthly (c) continuously 20. Suppose that we put some money in an account that has an annual interest rate of 10.25%. How long will it take to triple our money if the interest is compounded (a) twice a year (b) 8 times a year (c) continuously Exponential Growth/Decay. Many quantities in the world can be modeled (at least for a short time) by the exponential growth/decay equation. 0

    k tQ Q= e If k is positive then we will get exponential growth and if k is negative we will get exponential decay. 21. A population of bacteria initially has 90,000 present and in 2 weeks there will be 200,000 bacteria present. (a) Determine the exponential growth equation for this population. (b) How long will it take for the population to grow from its initial population of 90,000 to a population of 150,000? 22. We initially have 2 kg grams of some radioactive element and in 7250 years there will be 1.5 kg left. (a) Determine the exponential decay equation for this element. (b) How long will it take for half of the element to decay? (c) How long will it take until there is 250 grams of the element left? 23.

    Limits

    Introduction Here are a set of problems for which no solutions are available. The main intent of these problems is to have a set of problems available for any instructors who are looking for some extra problems. Note that some sections will have more problems than others and some will have more or less of a variety of problems. Most sections should have a range of difficulty levels in the problems although this will vary from section to section. Here is a list of topics in this chapter that have problems written for them. Tangent Lines and Rates of Change The Limit One-Sided Limits Limit Properties Computing Limits Infinite Limits Limits At Infinity, Part I Limits At Infinity, Part II Continuity The Definition of the Limit No problems have been written for this section yet.

    Introduction Here are a set of problems for which no solutions are available. The main intent of these problems is to have a set of problems available for any instructors who are looking for some extra problems. Note that some sections will have more problems than others and some will have more or less of a variety of problems. Most sections should have a range of difficulty levels in the problems although this will vary from section to section. Here is a list of topics in this chapter that have problems written for them.
