- Suppose the domain of fff(((xxx))) is all reals and that fff has an inverse function f
− 1
f (x)
− 1
f (x)
− 1
(x). Further,
suppose that fff(2) = 5(2) = 5(2) = 5 and f
′
f(2) = e
′
f(2) = e
′
(2) = e. Finally, let hhh(((xxx) = 1) = 1) = 1/f/f/f(((xxx))).
(a) What point must be on the graph of f
− 1
f (x)
− 1
f (x)
− 1
(x)?
Since f(2) = 5, we also know that f
− 1
(5) = 2; therefore, the point (5,2) is on the graph of f
− 1
(x).
(b) What point must be on the graph of hhh(((xxx)))?
Since f(2) = 5, we also know that h(2) = 1/5; therefore, the point (2,1/5) is on the graph of h(x).
The moral of the story in parts (a) and (b) is that inverses and reciprocals are not the same.
(c) Give an example of a point that cannot be on the graph of fff(((xxx))). Do not choose a
point with xxx-value of 2.
Since f
− 1
(x) is a function, we know that for each of its inputs (such as 5) there is only one output
(in this case, 2). This means that no point of the form (5, k) can be on the graph of f
− 1
(x)
(except for k = 2). Therefore, no point of the form (k, 5) can be on the graph of f(x) (except
for k = 2). [Note: this is the same as saying that f must be a one-to-one function; on f, no two
x-values correspond to the same y-value.]
(d) What is the value of the derivative of h(x)
h(x) h(x) at x = 2
x = 2 x = 2?
By the Quotient Rule (or Chain Rule if you prefer), h

(x) =

- Circle always, sometimes, or never to make each statement below correct.
(a) If f
′
f(1) = 0
′
f(1) = 0
′
(1) = 0 then fff always /sometimes/never has a critical point at xxx = 1= 1= 1.
A critical point is where f
′
is 0 or undefined.
(b) If f
′
f
′
f
′
(2) = 0 then f
f f always/ sometimes /never has a local maximum or local minimum
at x = 2
x = 2 x = 2.
f might instead have a terrace point at x = 2; we need f
′
to change sign at x = 2 in order to
guarantee a local extremum there.
(c) If xxx = 3= 3= 3 is a critical point of fff , then f
′
f(3)
′
f(3)
′
(3) is always/ sometimes /never 0.
It may also be that f
′
(3) is undefined.
(d) If f
′′
f (4) = 0
′′
f(4) = 0
′′
(4) = 0, then fff always/ sometimes /never has an inflection point at xxx = 4= 4= 4.
We need f
′′
to change sign at x = 4 to guarantee an inflection point there.
For example, if f(x) = (x−4)
4
then f
′′
(4) = 0 but f has a local minimum rather than an inflection
point at x = 4.
However, if f(x) = (x − 4)
3
then f
′′
(4) = 0 and f does have an inflection point at x = 4.
Also see what happens at x = 0 in problem 7(d).
(e) If fff has a global maximum at xxx = 5= 5= 5, then f
′
f(5)
′
f(5)
′
(5) is always/ sometimes /never 0.
f
′
(5) might also be undefined, or x = 5 might be an endpoint of the domain.
(f) If f
′
f(6) = 0
′
f(6) = 0
′
(6) = 0 and f
′′
f(6) = − 2
′′
f (6) = − 2
′′
(6) = − 2 , then fff always /sometimes/never has a local maximum at
xxx = 6= 6= 6.
If f is concave down with a horizontal slope at x = 6, then f must have a local maximum there.
(g) If f
′
f(7) = 0
′
f(7) = 0
′
(7) = 0 and f
′′
f (7) = 0
′′
f(7) = 0
′′
(7) = 0, then fff always/ sometimes /never has a local extremum at
xxx = 7= 7= 7.
This means that the second derivative test is inconclusive, so you need to use a different test.
For example, if f(x) = (x − 7)
4
then f
′
(7) = 0 and f
′′
(7) = 0 and f has a local minimum at
x = 7.
However, if f(x) = (x − 7)
3
then f
′
(7) = 0 and f
′′
(7) = 0 and f has an inflection point but not a
local extremum at x = 7.
- The rate of change of a population P (t)
P (t) P (t) of eels is proportional to the size of the population.
When the population is 40000, it is growing at a rate of 400 eels per year. At time t = 0
t = 0 t = 0,
the population is 10000.
(a) Write a differential equation whose solution is P (t)
P (t) P (t).
Rate of change (P
′
) is (=) proportional to (k) size of population (P ) means P
′
= kP.
What’s the value of k? When P = 40000, we know P
′
= 400. That is, 400 = k · 40000, so k = .01.
Thus, we have P
′
=. 01 P.
(b) Solve your differential equation.
The general solution is P (t) = Ae
. 01 t
What’s the value of A? When t = 0, we know P = 10000. That is, 10000 = Ae
0
= A, so
A = 10000.
Thus, we have P (t) = 10000e
. 01 t
(c) When will the population reach 60000?
60000 = 10000e
