  1. What limit must you calculate to compute \( f'(1) \), where \( f(x) = x^{100} \)?
  2. Calculate
    1. \( \lim_{ x \to 0} [(1+x)^{1000} - 1]/x \)
    2. \( \lim_{ x \to 0} [(1+x)^{-1000} - 1]/x \)
    3. \( \lim_{ x \to 0} [(8+x)^{4/3} - 16]/x \)

This problem should go quickly as long as the students are comfortable with the definition of derivative and know the power rule.
