  -0.5
Correct Answer
C. 3

Explanation
The correct answer is 3 because it is the only whole number among the given options. The other options, 1/2, 2, and -0.5, are not whole numbers.

Compute the derivative of 4 sec(x) - 3 csc(x)
- A.
  
  4 csc(x) + 3 sec(x)
- B.
  
  4 sec(x)tan(x) + 3 csc(x)cot(x)
- C.
  
  4(csc(x))^2 + 3(sec(x))^2
- D.
  
  4 csc(x)tan(x) - 3 csc(x)cot(x)
Correct Answer
B. 4 sec(x)tan(x) + 3 csc(x)cot(x)

Explanation
The given expression is a combination of two trigonometric functions, sec(x) and csc(x). To find the derivative of this expression, we can use the rules of differentiation for trigonometric functions. The derivative of sec(x) is sec(x)tan(x), and the derivative of csc(x) is -csc(x)cot(x). Therefore, the derivative of 4 sec(x) - 3 csc(x) is 4 sec(x)tan(x) + 3 csc(x)cot(x).

- A.
  
  -pi
- B.
  
  2pi
- C.
  
  0
- D.
  
  Pi
Correct Answer
D. Pi

Explanation
The given question asks for the result of the computation of -pi. The negative sign in front of pi indicates that the value of pi should be multiplied by -1. Therefore, the correct answer is -pi.

Determine the concavity of the graph of f(x) = 2 sin(x) + 3(cos(x))^2 at x = pi.
- A.
  
  6
- B.
  
  -7
- C.
  
  3
- D.
  
  -6
Correct Answer
D. -6

Explanation
To determine the concavity of the graph of f(x) at x = pi, we need to find the second derivative of f(x) and evaluate it at x = pi. The first derivative of f(x) is f'(x) = 2cos(x) - 6sin(x)cos(x), and the second derivative is f''(x) = -2sin(x) - 6sin^2(x) + 6cos^2(x). Evaluating f''(pi) gives us -2sin(pi) - 6sin^2(pi) + 6cos^2(pi) = 0 - 0 + 6(1) = 6. Since the second derivative is positive at x = pi, the graph is concave up at that point. Therefore, the given answer of -6 is incorrect.
