Show all work on
separate paper. Turn in ALL worksheets. Give all irrational answers in
exact (radical) form. When you use the calculator, say so, and explain
what you did.
In 1 – 5, find the derivatives and simplify. Show all
work!

below.)
b) How much money must be invested now at 6% annual rate compounded
continuously, in order to amount to $100,000 in 20 years?
14.
A certain type of bacteria increases continuously at a rate proportional to
the number present. If there are 500 present at a given time, and 1000
present 2 hours later, how many will there be 5 hours from the initial time
given?
