The following problems from your textbook (Calculus, Early Transcendentals 9E by James Stewart) will be discussed in your discussion sessions. Solutions are provided in your book; please do not refer to them before attempting the problems. I will write some notes in some problems for you and your TA. Enjoy learning! L.V.A
Week 1: Main goal. Exponential function and its inverse(Logarithmic functions)
Section 1.4. Problems 3, 9, 15, 17, 19. (Basic transformations of exponential functions and the domain of the combination of exponential functions and power functions)
Section 1.5. Problems 1, 17, 21 ( Think also of the domain of the function and its inverse), 25, 41, 43, 45 ( The last 3 problems are about the properties of the logarithmic functions )
Week 2: Secant line, average velocity as the approximation of the instantaneous velocity. Introduction to limits: understand the concept of limits.
Section 2.1. 1, 3, 5, 7 ( Secant line, average velocity as the approximation of the instantaneous velocity)
Section 2.2 1, 5, 7, 17, 19, 21, 29, 31. (This set of problems must be done on Thursday; please bring a calculator.)
