  • D. 4x²

💡 First derivative: 4x³. Second derivative: 12x².

3. What is the integral of 2x dx?

  • A. x
  • B. x²
  • C. 2x²
  • D. x² + C ✓

💡 ∫2x dx = x² + C, where C is the constant of integration.

4. What is the area under the curve y = x from x=0 to x=4?

  • A. 4
  • B. 6
  • C. 8 ✓
  • D. 16

💡 ∫₀⁴ x dx = [x²/2]₀⁴ = 16/2 - 0 = 8.

5. What is the derivative of x³?

  • A. x²
  • B. 2x²
  • C. 3x² ✓
  • D. 3x³

💡 d/dx(xⁿ) = nxⁿ⁻¹. So d/dx(x³) = 3x².

6. What is cos(60°)?

  • A. √3/2
  • B. 1/√2
  • C. 1
  • D. 1/2 ✓

💡 cos(60°) = 1/2. This is a standard trigonometric value.

7. What is cos(0°)?

  • B. 0.5
  • C. 1 ✓
  • D. √3/2

💡 cos(0°) = 1. The cosine of zero degrees equals one.

8. What is the derivative of eˣ?

  • A. xeˣ
  • B. eˣ⁻¹
  • C. eˣ ✓
  • D. e

💡 The derivative of eˣ is eˣ itself — this is the unique property of the natural exponential function.

9. What does the derivative of a function represent geometrically?

  • A. Area under curve
  • B. Length of curve
  • C. Volume of solid
  • D. Slope of tangent line ✓

💡 The derivative at a point gives the slope of the tangent line to the curve at that point.

10. What is the limit of (sin x)/x as x approaches 0?

  • B. ∞
  • C. Undefined
  • D. 1 ✓

💡 lim(x→0) sin(x)/x = 1. This is a fundamental limit in calculus.

11. What is ∫x² dx?

  • A. 2x
  • B. x³
  • C. x³/3 + C ✓
  • D. 3x³ + C

💡 ∫xⁿ dx = xⁿ⁺¹/(n+1) + C. So ∫x² dx = x³/3 + C.

12. What is the derivative of ln(x)?

  • A. 1
  • B. x
  • C. 1/x²
  • D. 1/x ✓

💡 d/dx(ln x) = 1/x. The derivative of the natural logarithm.

13. What is tan(45°)?

  • B. 0.5
  • C. √3
  • D. 1 ✓

💡 tan(45°) = sin(45°)/cos(45°) = 1. Both sin and cos equal √2/2 at 45°.

14. What is the derivative of sin(x)?

  • A. sin(x)
  • B. -cos(x)
  • C. -sin(x)
  • D. cos(x) ✓

  • A. cos(x) + C
  • B. -sin(x) + C
  • C. -cos(x) + C
  • D. sin(x) + C ✓

💡 ∫cos(x) dx = sin(x) + C.

17. Which rule is used to differentiate a product of two functions?

  • A. Chain rule
  • B. Quotient rule
  • C. Sum rule
  • D. Product rule ✓

💡 The product rule states: d/dx[f(x)g(x)] = f'(x)g(x) + f(x)g'(x).

18. What is the value of sin²(x) + cos²(x)?

  • B. 2
  • C. x
  • D. 1 ✓

💡 This is the Pythagorean identity: sin²(x) + cos²(x) = 1, always true for any x.

19. In a right triangle, if the opposite side is 3 and hypotenuse is 5, what is sin(θ)?

  • A. 3/4
  • B. 4/5
  • C. 3/5 ✓
  • D. 5/3

💡 sin(θ) = opposite/hypotenuse = 3/5.
