You may submit the solutions twice, if you wish.

 First Name:  Last Name:

1.  Take the derivative of y = x ln x.

a.  y' = 1/x

b.  y' = ln x

c.  y' = 1 + ln x

d.  y' = 1

e.  y = 1 + (1/x)

 

2.  If f is a function from R to R, then take the derivative of y = ln(f(x)).

a.  y' = (f '(x))/(f(x))

b.  y' = (f(x))/(f '(x))

c.  y' = (f '(x))/x

d.  y' = x/(f '(x))

e.  y' = (f(x))/x
