
4. Complete the tasks below to determine if g ( x ) =  2 is continuous at x = 1.
 x − 1, x > 1

(4 marks)

a) Verify that lim g ( x ) exists.

x →1

Answer: (Lesson 5)
(1 mark for setting up the one-side limits)
(1 mark for evaluating the limit)
lim g ( x ) = lim (−x + 1) = −1 + 1 = 0
x →1− x →1−

lim g ( x ) = lim ( x 2 − 1) = 12 − 1 = 1 − 1 = 0
x →1+ x →1+

lim g ( x ) = lim g ( x )
x →1− x →1+

So, lim g ( x ) = 0.
x →1

b) Is g(x) continuous? Explain.

Answer: (Lesson 7)
(1 mark for evaluating the function value)
(1 mark for using the definition of continuity to explain why the function is continuous)
For the function to be continuous at x = 1, both the function and the limit values have
to exist and be equal to each other at x = 1.

g (1) = −1 + 1 = 0

Since g(1) = 0 and lim g ( x ) = 0 , then the function is defined at x = 1 and equal to the
x →1

limit value, so the function is continuous at x = 1.

Answer: (Lesson 2)
(1 mark for determining the coordinates of the point of tangency)

Module 3: Applications of Derivatives (32 marks)

1. A ball is thrown upward so that its height above the ground after time t is h = 20t - 5t2,
where h is measured in metres and t is measured in seconds. (6 marks)
a) Determine the equation that represents the velocity of the ball.
Answer: (Lesson 2)
(1 mark for determining velocity)

h = 20t − 5t 2

v = h′ = 20 − 10t

b) Determine when the ball reaches its maximum height.

Answer: (Lesson 2)
(1 mark for setting velocity equal to zero)
(1 mark for determining when the ball reaches the maximum height)
v = 20 − 10t
0 = 20 − 10t
10t = 20

t=2
The ball reaches its maximum height after 2 seconds.

Final Practice Exam Answer Key 15 of 30

 c) Determine the velocity of the ball when it is 15 metres high on its way down.
Answer: (Lesson 2)
(1 mark for solving the quadratic equation)
(1 mark for determining the time on the way down)
(1 mark for determining the velocity)

15 = 20t − 5t 2
0 = −5t 2 + 20t − 15
0 = t 2 − 4t + 3

0 = ( t − 3 ) ( t − 1)
The ball is 15 metres high at t = 1 s or t = 3 s. It is on its way down when t = 3 s.

v = 20 − 10 ( 3) = 10 − 30 = −10 m/s

Since the ball is travelling downward, its velocity is negative, and the velocity of the
ball on its way down at a height of 15 metres is -10 m/s.

 c) How far apart are the man and the woman, x, from each other after one minute?
Answer: (Lesson 6)
(1 mark for evaluating the displacement between the man and woman after one minute)
w 2 + m2 = x 2

Answer: (Lesson 6)
(1 mark for implicit differentiation)

Answer: (Lesson 3)
(1 mark for determining the first derivative)
(1 mark for determining the critical values)

g′ ( x ) = 3x 2 + 12 x + 9

Solve:
g′ ( x ) = 0

(1 mark for creating sign diagram and identifying boundary values)
 
 
  

(1 mark for interpreting the sign diagram to determine the positive and negative intervals)

positive; and the function is decreasing on (–3, -1) because the first derivative is
negative.

Final Practice Exam Answer Key 19 of 30

 b) Find the coordinates where the relative extreme values occur and identify each of
them as a relative maximum or minimum.
Answer: (Lesson 3)
Method 1
(1 mark for using the first derivative test to determine whether maximum or minimum)
(1 mark for determining the coordinates of the extreme values)
Since the function changes from increasing to decreasing at x = -3, then there is a
local maximum there. Also, since g(-3) = (-3)3 + 6(-3)2 + 9(-3) + 4
= -27 + 54 - 27 + 4 = 4, then the coordinates of the local maximum are (-3, 4).

Since the function changes from decreasing to increasing at x = -1, then there is a
local minimum there. Also, since g(-1) = (-1)3 + 6(-1)2 + 9(-1) + 4
= -1 + 6 - 9 + 4 = 0, then the coordinates of the local minimum are (-1, 0).

Or

Method 2
(1 mark for using the second derivative test to determine whether maximum or minimum)
(1 mark for determining the coordinates of the extreme values)
g² = 6x + 12
Use the second derivative test at x = -3 and x = -1.
g²(-3) = 6(-3) + 12 = -6
Since the second derivative is negative at x = -3, then the function is concave down
at that x-value and there is a local maximum there.
As in Method 1 above, the local maximum coordinates are (-3, 4).
g²(-1) = 6(-1) + 12 = +6
Since the second derivative is positive at x = -1, then the function is concave up at
that x-value and there is a local minimum there.
As in Method 1 above, the local minimum coordinates are (-1, 0).

c) Find the intervals of concavity and the coordinates of any points of inflection.
Answer: (Lesson 5)
(1 mark determining the second derivative)
(1 mark for determining the critical values of g²(x))
g′′ ( x ) = 6 x + 12
0 = g′′ ( x ) = 6 x + 12
6 x = −12

x = −2
(2 ´ 1 mark for describing each concavity interval)
(1 mark for determining the point of inflection)
The test intervals are (-¥, -2) and (-2, ¥).
Select x = -3 as a test point for (-¥, -2) and substitute it into the second derivative:
g²(-3) = 6(-3) + 12 = -18 + 12 = -6 < 0
Select x = 0 as a test point for (-2, ¥) and substitute it into the second derivative:
g²(0) = 6(0) + 12 = 12 > 0

 


Since the second derivative is negative, then the function is concave down on
(-¥, -2).
Since the second derivative is positive, then the function is concave up on (-2, ¥).
Since the function changes concavity at x = -2 and g(-2) = (-2)3 + 6(-2)2 + 9(-2) + 4
= -8 + 24 - 18 + 4 = 2, then there is an inflection point at (-2, 2).

4. The sum of two positive numbers is 12. If the product of one number cubed and the
other number is a maximum, find the two numbers. (7 marks)
Answer: (Lesson 4)
(1 mark for defining the sum of two natural numbers)
(1 mark for creating a product equation as a function of one variable with the sum equation)
x + y = 12
x = 12 − y

You need an expression for the product to find the maximum. Substitute for x to write P
in terms of y.

P = x ⋅ y3 P = (12 − y ) ⋅ y 3 = 12 y 3 − y 4

(1 mark for determining the derivative of the product equation)
P¢ = 36y2 - 4y3
(1 mark for determining the critical value)
0 = P′ = 36 y 2 − 4 y 3
0 = 4 y 2 (9 − y )

y = 0, 9

Only y = 9 is a possible critical value because the number must be positive.

(1 mark for determining the second derivative or creating a sign diagram for P¢)
P² = 72y - 12y2

P²(9) = 72(9) - 12(9)2 = -324
(1 mark for using the second derivative or interpreting the sign diagram for P¢ to determine if
there is a maximum)
Since the second derivative is negative when x = 9, then the function is concave down
and there is a maximum at that critical value.
Alternatively, you can earn the 2 marks above by creating and interpreting a sign
diagram for P¢. You will notice that P¢ is positive to the left when y = 8 and negative to
the right when y = 10. There is a maximum at the critical value, y = 9, since P¢ goes from
+ to - or, said another way, P goes from increasing to decreasing.
(1 mark for determining the two natural numbers)
x = 12 - 9 = 3
The two positive numbers are 9 and 3 and the product 3(9)3 = 2187 is the maximum.

Answers: (Lesson 4)

a)
 Area = 6 × 3 ÷ 2 = 9
4
 Therefore, ∫ f (x ) dx = 9.
−2

Name:

b)  Area below x-axis

=2´1¸2=1

Area above x-axis
=2´1¸2=1

Area below x-axis has a
negative definite integral, so
0

      ∫ f (x ) dx = 1 + (−1) = 0.
−4




c)  Area = (2 ´ 2) + (2 ´ 1 ¸ 2) = 5
4

Therefore, ∫ f ( x ) dx = 5.
2

 d)  The absolute value of the
function is entirely above the
 x-axis.
Area = (2 ´ 1 ¸ 2) +
 (2 ´ 1 ¸ 2) = 2
Therefore,
0

      ∫ f ( x ) dx = 1 + 1 = 2.
