a) f '(x) = 6x - 5, f '(-1) = 6(-1) - 5 = -11

b) f '(x) = 2x - 1/x2 ,

f '(-1) = 2(-1) - 1/(-1)2 = -3

c) f(x) = x1/5 , f '(x) = x-4/5/5 = 1/5x4/5 ,

d) f '(x) = 2x2 - 3/x2 + 10/x3 ,
e) set f '(x) = 0,

f '(-1) = 1/(-1)4/5 = 1/5

f '(-1) = 2 - 3 - 10 = -11

6x - 5 = 0
6x = 5
x = 5/6

4a) Zeros of f(x) = x(x2 - 3) = 0 ,

5)

A(x) = x(24 - 2x) = 24x - 2x2

A'(x) = 24 - 4x = 0
-4x = -24
x=6
Therefore, the amount to be turned up is 6 meters.

6)
A(x) = x(900 - 3x)/2 = 450x - 3x2/2
A'(x) = 450 - 3x = 0
450 = 3x
x = 150
Therefore, the maximum area is (150)(225) = 33,750
7) Let x = the number of nickels to raise the rates

# of passengers rate per day in cents

2000 - 200x

20 + 5x

I(x) = (2000 - 200x)(20 + 5x) = 40000 +10000x - 4000x - 1000x 2

= 40000 + 6000x - 1000x2
I'(x) = 6000 - 2000x
0 = 6000 - 2000x
2000x = 6000
x=3
Therefore, they need to raise the rate by 3 nickels to 35 cents

8)

a) v(t) = 32t - 128

b) v(3) = -32, moving backward,
= 32 moving forward

v(4) = 0, not moving,

v(5)

c) a(t) = 32
d) All times yield a constant acceleration of 32.
9)

a) v(t) = 256 - 32t

b) v(6) = 64, v(8) = 0, v(10) = -64
c) a(t) = -32
d) 0 = 256t - 16t2
0 = 16t(16 - t) therefore, t = 0 or t = 16. t = 0 is before you hit
it. therefore, it will hit the ground at t = 16.
e) v(16) = 256 - 32(16) = -256
f) 0 = 256 - 32t
32t = 256
t = 8 Therefore, it will take a time of t = 8
g) h(8) = 256(8) - 16(8)2 = 1024
