STEM 2 (Basic Calculus)

Types of Test
1. True or False
2. Multiple Choice
3. Process & Skill
a. Limits
b. Derivatives
4. Problem Solving

What to study?
1. All the terms and definitions from the beginning up to the introduction to
derivatives. No need to memorize the definitions and theorems but please
understand what they mean and how one can apply them in problems.
2. I am not going to give any clue on the problem-solving part. I have already given
some clues in class. Also please review finding the limit of functions based the table
of values and graphs.
3. For the multiple choice and process & skill sections, please practice on the following
problems:
a. Find the following limits:
i. lim (2𝑥 #$ + 2!%# ) xiii. lim
! ! %+
