Oil is being pumped continuously from a certain oil well at a rate proportional to the dy amount of oil left in the well; that is, = ky , where y is the amount of oil left in the dt well at any time t . Initially there were 1,000,000 gallons of oil in the well, and 6 years later there were 500,000 gallons remaining. It will no longer be profitable to pump oil when there are fewer than 50,000 gallons remaining.
(a) Write an equation for y , the amount of oil remaining in the well at any time t . (b) At what rate is the amount of oil in the well decreasing when there are 600,000 gallons of oil remaining? (c) In order not to lose money, at what time t should oil no longer be pumped from the well?

The radius of the balloon, in feet, is modeled by a twice-differentiable function r of time t, where t is measured in minutes. For 0 < t < 12, the graph of r is concave down.

Question 3
Distance from the rivers edge (feet) Depth of the water (feet) 0 0 8 7 14 8 22 2 24 0

A scientist measures the depth of the Doe River at Picnic Point. The river is 24 feet wide at this location. The measurements are taken in a straight line perpendicular to the edge of the river. The data are shown in the table above. The velocity of the water at Picnic Point, in feet per minute, is modeled by v( t ) = 16 + 2sin ( t + 10 ) for 0 t 120 minutes. (a) Use a trapezoidal sum with the four subintervals indicated by the data in the table to approximate the area of the cross section of the river at Picnic Point, in square feet. Show the computations that lead to your answer. (b) The volumetric flow at a location along the river is the product of the cross-sectional area and the velocity of the water at that location. Use your approximation from part (a) to estimate the average value of the volumetric flow at Picnic Point, in cubic feet per minute, from t = 0 to t = 120 minutes. (c) The scientist proposes the function f, given by f ( x ) = 8sin

water, in feet, at Picnic Point x feet from the rivers edge. Find the area of the cross section of the river at Picnic Point based on this model. (d) Recall that the volumetric flow is the product of the cross-sectional area and the velocity of the water at a location. To prevent flooding, water must be diverted if the average value of the volumetric flow at Picnic Point exceeds 2100 cubic feet per minute for a 20-minute period.

Concert tickets went on sale at noon ( t = 0 ) and were sold out within 9 hours. The number of people waiting in line to purchase tickets at time t is modeled by a twice-differentiable function L for 0 t 9. Values of L( t ) at various times t are shown in the table above.

Indicate units of measure. (b) Use a trapezoidal sum with three subintervals to estimate the average number of people waiting in line during the first 4 hours that tickets were on sale. (c) For 0 t 9, what is the fewest number of times at which L( t ) must equal 0 ? Give a reason for your answer. (d) The rate at which tickets were sold for 0 t 9 is modeled by r ( t ) = 550tet 2 tickets per hour. Based on the model, how many tickets were sold by 3 P.M. ( t = 3) , to the nearest whole number?

L( 7 ) L( 4 ) 150 126 = = 8 people per hour 74 3

(b) The average number of people waiting in line during the first 4 hours is approximately L(1) + L( 3) L( 3) + L( 4 ) 1 L( 0 ) + L(1) (3 1) + (1 0 ) + ( 4 3) 4 2 2 2 = 155.25 people (c) L is differentiable on [ 0, 9] so the Mean Value Theorem implies L( t ) > 0 for some t in (1, 3) and some t in ( 4, 7 ) . Similarly, L( t ) < 0 for some t in ( 3, 4 ) and some t in ( 7, 8 ) . Then, since L is continuous on [ 0, 9] , the Intermediate Value Theorem implies that L( t ) = 0 for at least three values of t in [ 0, 9]. OR The continuity of L on [1, 4] implies that L attains a maximum value there. Since L( 3) > L(1) and L( 3) > L( 4 ) , this maximum occurs on (1, 4 ) . Similarly, L attains a minimum on ( 3, 7 ) and a maximum on ( 4, 8 ) . L is differentiable, so L( t ) = 0 at each relative extreme point on ( 0, 9 ) . Therefore L( t ) = 0 for at least three values of t in [ 0, 9]. [Note: There is a function L that satisfies the given conditions with L( t ) = 0 for exactly three values of t.]

Question 4 The figure above shows the graph of f , the derivative of the function f, on the closed interval 1 x 5. The graph of f has horizontal tangent lines at x = 1 and x = 3. The function f is twice differentiable with f ( 2 ) = 6. (a) Find the x-coordinate of each of the points of inflection of the graph of f. Give a reason for your answer. (b) At what value of x does f attain its absolute minimum value on the closed interval 1 x 5 ? At what value of x does f attain its absolute maximum value on the closed interval 1 x 5 ? Show the analysis that leads to your answers. (c) Let g be the function defined by g ( x ) = x f ( x ) . Find an equation for the line tangent to the graph of g at x = 2.

(a)

x = 1 and x = 3 because the graph of f changes from increasing to decreasing at x = 1, and changes from decreasing to increasing at x = 3.

1 : x = 1, x = 3 2: 1 : reason

(b) The function f decreases from x = 1 to x = 4, then increases from x = 4 to x = 5. Therefore, the absolute minimum value for f is at x = 4. The absolute maximum value must occur at x = 1 or at x = 5.

Question 4

A particle moves along the x-axis so that its velocity at time t, for 0 t 6, is given by a differentiable function v whose graph is shown above. The velocity is 0 at t = 0, t = 3, and t = 5, and the graph has horizontal tangents at t = 1 and t = 4. The areas of the regions bounded by the t-axis and the graph of v on the intervals [ 0, 3] , [3, 5] , and [5, 6] are 8, 3, and 2, respectively. At time t = 0, the particle is at x = 2.
(a) For 0 t 6, find both the time and the position of the particle when the particle is farthest to the left. Justify your answer. (b) For how many values of t, where 0 t 6, is the particle at x = 8 ? Explain your reasoning. (c) On the interval 2 < t < 3, is the speed of the particle increasing or decreasing? Give a reason for your answer. (d) During what time intervals, if any, is the acceleration of the particle negative? Justify your answer. (a) Since v( t ) < 0 for 0 < t < 3 and 5 < t < 6, and v( t ) > 0 for 3 < t < 5, we consider t = 3 and t = 6. x( 3) = 2 + x( 6 ) = 2 +

1 : identifies t = 3 as a candidate 6 3 : 1 : considers v( t ) dt 0 1 : conclusion

Therefore, the particle is farthest left at time t = 3 when its position is x( 3) = 10.

(b) The particle moves continuously and monotonically from x( 0 ) = 2 to x( 3) = 10. Similarly, the particle moves continuously and monotonically from x( 3) = 10 to x( 5 ) = 7 and also from x( 5 ) = 7 to x( 6 ) = 9. By the Intermediate Value Theorem, there are three values of t for which the particle is at x( t ) = 8. (c) The speed is decreasing on the interval 2 < t < 3 since on this interval v < 0 and v is increasing. (d) The acceleration is negative on the intervals 0 < t < 1 and 4 < t < 6 since velocity is decreasing on these intervals.
