Third Quarter Final Exam in Basic Calculus

The document is a midterm exam for a basic calculus class that assesses students' understanding of differentiation rules and their ability to compute derivatives of various functions and solve optimization problems. The exam contains three sections - a modified true/false section testing knowledge of differentiation rules, a multiple choice section computing derivatives, and a solving section requiring students to take derivatives and find maxima/minima of functions.
