electric components for the space shuttle. For proper growth of the crystal, the temperature must be
controlled accurately by adjusting the input power. Suppose the relationship is given by
T(w) = 0.1w2 + 2.154w + 20

(b) If the temperature is allowed to vary from 202C by up to 1C, what range of wattage is
allowed for the input power? (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

How would you "remove the discontinuity" of f? In other words, how would you define f(4) in order to
make f continuous at 4?

f(x) = x 3x 4
x4
f(4) = 5
5
Solution or Explanation
2
(x 4)(x + 1)
f(x) = x 3x 4 =
= x + 1 for x 4. Since lim f(x) = 4 + 1 = 5, define
x4
x4
x4
f(4) = 5. Then f is continuous at 4.

If the tangent line to y = f(x) at (4, 3) passes through the point (0, 2), find f(4) and f'(4).
$$3
f(4) =
$$14
f'(4) =
Solution or Explanation
Since (4, 3) is on y = f(x), f(4) = 3. The slope of the tangent line between (0, 2) and (4, 3) is
'(4) =
1
, so f
