Simplification may be necessary here to compare the different rates.

d) No critical points are guaranteed because the approximation of () using the

values in the table yield values for () that are all positive.
*Critical points would be guaranteed if there were at least one negative and one positive
value for () because it is stated that this derivative of () is continuous. This
means that () would have to equal 0 at some point under these conditions, by the
Intermediate Value Theorem.

e) Yes, the data guarantees that () has a point of inflection in the interval [, ].
Since () is continuous and differentiable, by the Mean Value Theorem, ()
somewhere equals 60 in [.5, 1.5]; 50 in [. , ]; 70 in [2, 3.5]; and 110 in [3.5, 5].
Thus, () decreases somewhere in the time interval [.5,2], but () increases
somewhere in the time interval [, ]. This means that () changes from negative
to positive at some point, so ()must have a point of inflection.

f) The estimate would be an underestimate. Because the function is concave down for the
interval used in the area approximation, the Trapezoidal Approximation Method would
be an underestimate.
