Welcome to our calculus practice tutorial! Whether you're a student looking to improve your skills or a professional seeking to refresh your knowledge, this guide is designed to help you master the basics of calculus.
Key Concepts
Here are some of the key concepts you'll learn in this tutorial:
- Limits: Understanding the concept of limits is crucial in calculus.
- Derivatives: Derivatives help us understand the rate of change of a function.
- Integrals: Integrals are used to find the area under a curve and much more.
Practice Exercises
To solidify your understanding, we've provided a series of practice exercises. Try to solve them on your own before checking the solutions.
Exercise 1: Limits
Find the limit of the following function as x approaches 2:
$$ \lim_{{x \to 2}} \frac{{x^2 - 4}}{{x - 2}} $$
Exercise 2: Derivatives
Calculate the derivative of the function ( f(x) = x^3 - 6x^2 + 9x - 1 ).
Exercise 3: Integrals
Find the integral of the function ( g(x) = e^x ).

Solution 1
The limit of the function as x approaches 2 is 4.
$$ \lim_{{x \to 2}} \frac{{x^2 - 4}}{{x - 2}} = \lim_{{x \to 2}} \frac{{(x - 2)(x + 2)}}{{x - 2}} = \lim_{{x \to 2}} (x + 2) = 4 $$
Solution 2
The derivative of the function ( f(x) = x^3 - 6x^2 + 9x - 1 ) is ( f'(x) = 3x^2 - 12x + 9 ).
Solution 3
The integral of the function ( g(x) = e^x ) is ( G(x) = e^x + C ), where C is the constant of integration.
