1Evaluate the limit: L = lim_{x -> 0} (e^(2x) - 1 - 2x) / x^2.
A.0
B.1
C.2
D.4
Explanation: Using the Taylor expansion of e^(2x) around 0, e^(2x) = 1 + 2x + (2x)^2/2! + o(x^2) = 1 + 2x + 2x^2 + o(x^2). Subtracting 1 + 2x leaves 2x^2 + o(x^2), so dividing by x^2 yields lim_{x -> 0} (2x^2 / x^2) = 2. Alternatively, applying L'Hôpital's rule twice gives lim_{x -> 0} (2e^(2x) - 2)/(2x) = lim_{x -> 0} (4e^(2x))/2 = 2.
2What is the value of the limit L = lim_{x -> +infinity} x * (sqrt(x^2 + 4) - x)?
A.0
B.1
C.2
D.+infinity
Explanation: Multiplying by the conjugate expression gives sqrt(x^2 + 4) - x = 4 / (sqrt(x^2 + 4) + x). Multiplying by x produces 4x / (x(sqrt(1 + 4/x^2) + 1)) = 4 / (sqrt(1 + 4/x^2) + 1). As x -> +infinity, this approaches 4 / (1 + 1) = 2.
3Let f(x) = (ln(1 + 3x)) / sin(2x) for x != 0, and f(0) = c. For what value of the real constant c is f continuous at x = 0?
A.1/2
B.1
C.3/2
D.2/3
Explanation: For f to be continuous at 0, c must equal lim_{x -> 0} f(x). Using standard equivalences near 0, ln(1 + 3x) ~ 3x and sin(2x) ~ 2x, so lim_{x -> 0} (ln(1 + 3x) / sin(2x)) = lim_{x -> 0} (3x / 2x) = 3/2. Therefore, c must equal 3/2.
4Consider the equation x^3 + 3x - 5 = 0. According to the Intermediate Value Theorem (Théorème des Valeurs Intermédiaires), on which interval does this equation admit a unique real root?
A.[-2, -1]
B.[-1, 0]
C.[0, 1]
D.[1, 2]
Explanation: Let g(x) = x^3 + 3x - 5. The derivative is g'(x) = 3x^2 + 3 > 0 for all real x, so g is strictly increasing and continuous on R. Evaluating at integer points gives g(1) = 1 + 3 - 5 = -1 < 0 and g(2) = 8 + 6 - 5 = 9 > 0. Since g(1) * g(2) < 0, the Intermediate Value Theorem guarantees a unique root strictly within [1, 2].
5What is the equation of the tangent line to the curve y = f(x) = x * e^(-x) at the point with abscissa x = 0?
A.y = x
B.y = -x
C.y = x + 1
D.y = 2x
Explanation: The derivative of f(x) = x * e^(-x) is f'(x) = 1 * e^(-x) - x * e^(-x) = (1 - x)e^(-x). At x = 0, f(0) = 0 and f'(0) = (1 - 0)e^0 = 1. The equation of the tangent line is y - f(0) = f'(0)(x - 0), which simplifies directly to y = x.
6Find the inflection point of the curve defined by f(x) = x^3 - 6x^2 + 9x + 2.
A.(1, 6)
B.(2, 4)
C.(3, 2)
D.(0, 2)
Explanation: The first derivative is f'(x) = 3x^2 - 12x + 9, and the second derivative is f''(x) = 6x - 12. Setting f''(x) = 0 yields 6x - 12 = 0 <=> x = 2. Since f''(x) changes sign at x = 2 (from negative for x < 2 to positive for x > 2), an inflection point occurs at x = 2. Computing f(2) = 2^3 - 6(2^2) + 9(2) + 2 = 8 - 24 + 18 + 2 = 4, giving the point (2, 4).
7Let f(x) = x^3 + 2x - 1. The function f is strictly increasing on R. If g is the inverse function f^(-1), what is the value of g'(2)?
A.1/5
B.1/4
C.1/2
D.5
Explanation: By the inverse function derivative theorem, g'(2) = 1 / f'(g(2)). We first find g(2), which is the solution to f(x) = 2. Clearly, x = 1 gives f(1) = 1^3 + 2(1) - 1 = 2, so g(2) = 1. The derivative of f is f'(x) = 3x^2 + 2, so f'(1) = 3(1)^2 + 2 = 5. Therefore, g'(2) = 1 / 5.
8Evaluate the limit: L = lim_{x -> 0} (1 - cos(x)) / (x * sin(x)).
A.0
B.1/2
C.1
D.2
Explanation: Using standard asymptotic equivalents near 0, 1 - cos(x) ~ x^2 / 2 and sin(x) ~ x. Thus, the denominator x * sin(x) ~ x^2. The limit is lim_{x -> 0} (x^2 / 2) / x^2 = 1/2. Alternatively, L'Hôpital's rule gives lim_{x -> 0} sin(x) / (sin(x) + x cos(x)) = lim_{x -> 0} 1 / (1 + cos(x)) = 1 / (1 + 1) = 1/2.
9Find the oblique asymptote (asymptote oblique) of the curve y = f(x) = (2x^2 + 5x - 1) / (x + 1) as x -> +infinity.
A.y = 2x
B.y = 2x + 1
C.y = 2x + 3
D.y = 2x + 5
Explanation: Performing polynomial long division of 2x^2 + 5x - 1 by x + 1: 2x^2 + 5x - 1 = (x + 1)(2x + 3) - 4. Thus, f(x) = 2x + 3 - 4/(x + 1). As x -> +infinity, -4/(x + 1) -> 0, which proves that the straight line y = 2x + 3 is the oblique asymptote.
10What is the value of the limit L = lim_{x -> 0+} x^(sqrt(x))?
A.0
B.1/e
C.1
D.+infinity
Explanation: Rewrite the expression in exponential form: x^(sqrt(x)) = exp(sqrt(x) * ln(x)). Let u = sqrt(x); then x = u^2 and ln(x) = 2 ln(u), so sqrt(x) * ln(x) = 2u * ln(u). By standard growth hierarchies (croissances comparées), lim_{u -> 0+} u * ln(u) = 0. Therefore, lim_{x -> 0+} exp(sqrt(x) * ln(x)) = exp(0) = 1.
