(a) Find the number c that makes
f (x) =
x^2 − 3 x − 10 x + 2
if x 6 = − 2 c if x = − 2
continuous for every x.
Answer:
(b) Evaluate lim t→ 0
t + 9 − 3 √ t
Answer:
(c) Evaluate lim h→ 0
(h + 3)^2 − 9 (h − 5)^2 − 25
Answer:
(d) If you put money in an account that pays 6% interest, compounded continuously, how long will it take for your money to triple?
Answer:
(i) Let y = y(x) be the function defined implicitly by the equation y + ln(y + 3) = x^2. Find dy dx
in terms of x and y.
Answer:
(j) Determine where the function
f (x) =
1 + ln(x + 1) x + 1
, x > − 1
is increasing.
Answer:
(k) Determine where the function f (x) =
x x + 2
, x 6 = −2, is concave down.
Answer:
(l) Find the global minimum of the function f (x) =
x x^2 + 4
over the interval [− 1 , 5].
Answer:
(m) Determine the sum − 4
Answer:
(n) Let c 0 + c 1 x + c 2 x^2 +... be the Taylor Series of the function f (x) = (x + 1)e−x^ at a = 0. Determine the value of c 2.
Answer:
[12] 3. Suppose that when a busy restaurant charges $7 for its tomato appetizer, an average of 60 people order the dish each night. When it drops the price of the appetizer to $5, the number ordering it rises to 66. Assume that the demand q is a linear function of the price p. If each appetizer costs the restaurant $3 to make, use calculus to find the price it should charge to maximize its profit from the appetizer. You do not need to justify that your answer provides the maximum profit.
[12] 4. Let y = f (x) =
2 x x^2 + 1
(a) Find the interval or intervals on which f (x) is increasing. [3pts]
(b) Find the interval or intervals on which f (x) is concave up. [3pts]
(c) Sketch the graph of y = f (x), and indicate the x-coordinates of any inflection points, and the values of x where any global maxima or global minima occur. (Hint:
[6pts]
[12] 6. The price p (in dollars) and demand q for a product are related by
p^2 + 2q^2 = 1100.
If the price is increasing at a rate of $2 per month when the price is $30, find the rate of change of the revenue in dollars per month.
