Please note that you have to try to solve the problems yourself before checking your solutions against mine. To solve a problem you may follow the following steps: Read the problem. Think! Read the problem again! Have you understood what the problem is looking for? Make a plan. Perform the plan. Evaluate your results. Are your results logical and acceptable?

Obviously, if you are stock and do not know how to solve the problem you may read my solutions. But, after reading the solutions, even if you are sure that you understood my solutions, you should try to solve the problem by yourself without checking your steps against mine. Only, after you solve the problem yourself, you may have understood how to solve similar problems (but not necessarily another type.) My solutions are just suggested ones. Usually there are more than one methods of solving a given problem. Warning: Just reading the solutions can never replace your own struggle in solving a given problem. By just reading the solutions you may not be able to understand the mathematics of the problem deep enough and therefore, it will not help you to solve a new problem by yourself. Your comments and possible corrections are deeply appreciated. Have Fun! Behzad Massoumzadeh, Ph.D. behzad.massoumzadeh@huddinge.se

(3/0) In figure 2, the outer profile of the sofa facing the corner of the container is marked by a thick black line. The outer profile of the sofa is described by the function f where y = f (x ) b. Determine the expression y = f ( x ) which describes the outer profile of the sofa. Suggested solutions: A( x ) = x 3 6 x 2 + 9 x dm 2 a. Maximum A( x ) is associated with A( x ) = 0 . Therefore, first we must differentiate the expression for the area with respect to x and solve A( x ) = 0 for x . Then construct the necessary table to investigate the property of the stationary point (local extreme).

AMax = A(1) = 4 dm 2

A( x ) = 6 x 12

Answer: The maximum area of the base of the box is AMax = A(1) = 4 dm 2 at x1 = 1 . Note that A(1) = 6 (1) 12 = 6 < 0 a further confirmation of the fact that A( x ) = x 3 6 x 2 + 9 x dm 2 has a local maximum at x1 = 1 .

The figure shows the graph of the function f ( x ) where f ( x ) = x 3 3x 2 . At the points with x-coordinates 1 and 3 the tangents to the curve of the function f (x ) are plotted. In the figure below the tangents seems to be parallel. Investigate whether the tangents to the curve of the function f ( x ) = x 3 3x 2 at x1 = 1 and x2 = 3 are parallel. (2/0) Suggested solutions: We may use the following mathematical logics to investigate if the tangents to the curve of the function f ( x ) = x 3 3x 2 at x1 = 1 and at x2 = 3 are parallel: Two straight lines y = k1 x + m1 and y = k 2 x + m2 are parallel if they have identical slope, i.e.: if k1 = k 2 . The tangent y = k x + m to the curve of the function f (x ) at x = a and the function have identical gradient (slope) at x = a , i.e.: k = f (a ) . The tangent y = k x + m to the curve of the function f (x ) at x = a share the point i.e.: y (a ) = f (a ) .
11. Therefore, to solve the problem we may first differentiate the function f ( x ) = x 3 3x 2 , and then apply the properties of the tangent to a curve stated above to the particular situation: f ( x ) = x 3 3x 2 f ( x ) = 3 x 2 6 x
k1 = f ( 1) = 3 ( 1)2 6 ( 1) = 3 + 6 = 9 k1 = k 2 = 9 k 2 = f (3) = 3 (3)2 6 (3) = 27 18 = 9 They are parallel

[1/0]

Answer: Due to the fact that the tangents to the curve of the function f ( x ) = x 3 3x 2 at x1 = 1 and at x2 = 3 share identical slope: k1 = k 2 = 9 , they are parallel. [1/0] Note that by an additional few steps we may find also the equation of the tangent the curve (not required in this problem): f ( 1) = ( 1)3 3 ( 1)2 = 1 3 = 4 y = 9 x + m1 4 = 9 ( 1) + m1 m1 = 9 4 = 5 k1 = f ( 1) = 3 ( 1)2 6 ( 1) = 3 + 6 = 9 f (3) = (3)3 3 (3)2 = 27 27 = 0 y = 9 x + m2 0 = 9 (3) + m2 m2 = 27 k 2 = f (3) = 3 (3)2 6 (3) = 27 18 = 9 Equation of the tangents to the curve f ( x ) = x 3 3x 2 at x1 = 1 and at x2 = 3 are y = 9 x + 5 and y = 9 x 27 respectively.

There are unlimited number of functions for which it is true that f (0 ) = 20 and f (0 ) = 20 find out one such function. (1/1) Suggested solutions: f (0 ) = 20 means that the function passes through (0, 20 ) , and therefore coordinates of the point (0, 20 ) must satisfy the equation of the function. We may recognize also that f (0 ) = 20 is the y-intercept of the function. f (0 ) = 20 means that the gradiant of the function (slope of the tangent to the function) at the point (0, f (0 )) is 20 . [1/0] There are infinite number of such functions we will name a few: k = f (0) = 20 If the function is a linear function: . m = f (0) = 20 Answer: f ( x ) = 20 x + 20 . [0/1] 2 If the function is a quadratic function: f ( x ) = ax + bx + c then f (x ) = 2ax + b , and conditions stated above may be interpreted b = f (0) = 20 as: . There is no restriction on the coefficient of the c = f (0) = 20 quadratic term except for the fact that it must be nonzero: a 0 , otherwise the function would not be quadratic: Answer: f ( x ) = ax 2 + 20 x + 20 a , a 0 , for example

f ( x ) = x 2 + 20 x + 20 , f ( x ) = 5 x 2 + 20 x + 20 or f ( x ) = 5 x 2 + 20 x + 20 . Using similar procedure we may conclude that any polynomial whose last two key terms are 20 x + 20 is a solution of the problem, for example: f (x ) = ax 5 + 20 x + 20 a , a 0 , for example f ( x ) = x 5 + 20 x + 20 .
If the function is an exponential function: f ( x ) = A e ax a , a 0 then f ( x ) = A a e ax a , a 0 and conditions stated in the problem
a(0 ) = A a = 20 f (0) = A a e may be interpreted as: a =1. a(0 ) f (0) = A e = A = 20

In the year 2001, a town house in Ume was bought for 1.23 million SEK. Seven years later, the house was sold for 2.49 million SEK. Assume that the increase in price between these years was exponential. Calculate the yearly percentage increase in price. (0/2)

Suggested solutions: If the growth is exponential then we may express the Price of the house as P(n, x ) where n is the number of years passed the date of the purchase, and x is the annual percentage increase in the price of the house. Therefore, if the annual percentage increase rate is assumed constant, we may express the price of the house as
P (n, x ) = P0 x n

The figure below illustrates the main characteristics of the graph of the two functions f (x ) and g ( x ) . Sven claims that the function g ( x ) is the derivative of the function f (x ) . Investigate if his claim is correct. (0/2)

Suggested solutions: To investigate Svens claim we may construct the x _ f ( x ) _ f ( x ) table. If the main characteristics of g ( x ) fit those of the derivative of f (x ) , i.e. the main characteristics of f ( x ) , then Svens claim might be correct.

As illustrated clearly in the table above, even though both g ( 2 ) = f ( 2 ) = 0 and g (3) = f (3) = 0 , [0/1] The sign change of g ( x ) around the local maximum and the local minimum are in the opposite direction of those of f ( x ) . Conclusion: Due to the fact that main characteristics of g ( x ) does not fit those of f ( x ) , we may conclude that g ( x ) is not the derivative of the function f (x ) and Sven is therefore wrong.

f (a ) = g (a ) f (a ) = 0 f (a ) = g (a ) f (a ) = g (a ) f (a ) = g (a ) g (a ) = 0

Only answer is required


Suggested solutions:

(0/1)

Answer: Alternatives C and E are necessary and sufficient conditions for the functions f (x ) and g ( x ) being tangent to each other at the point where x = a. [0/1] i. Two functions that are tangent to each other at a point where x is a , i.e. x = a , must share the point, i.e. f (a ) = g (a ) . This statement is equivalent to the fact that the coordinates of the point they share must satisfy the equations of both functions. Gradient of the tangent to two functions that are tangent to each other at a point where x is a , i.e. x = a , must be identical at the point, i.e. f (a ) = g (a ) . This statement is equivalent to the fact that derivatives of both functions at x = a must be identical.

Moa and Gustav each investigate a different cubic function y = f ( x ) . Each cubic function has two turning points at x1 = 2 and x2 = 6 . Their teacher asks them to determine the largest value of their functions in the interval 0 x 3 . Moa claims that the largest value of her function is f (2 ) and Gustav claims that his functions largest value is f (0 ) . The teacher tells them that they are both right. Investigate how they can both be right. (0/2/) Suggested solutions: If both functions have two turning points at x1 = 2 and x2 = 6 . Then possibly the derivative of Moas function is f ( x ) = M ( x 2 ) ( x 6 ) M > 0 Therefore Moas function has a local maximum at x1 = 2 and in this scence Moa was right and her functions largest value in the interval 0 x 3 was [0/1] f (2 ) . On the other hand the derivative of Gustavs function may look like f ( x ) = G ( x 2 ) ( x 6 ) G < 0 and therefore his function has a local minimum at x1 = 2 but its largest value lies at x = 0 . Note that the derivative of Gustavs function is not zero at x = 0 , i.e. f (0) 0 , and therefore its largest value at x = 0 is not a turning point. Note also that f (0 ) > f (3) . In the figure below a Monas function along with an example for Gustavs function are plotted. An example for Monas function and its derivative: Function Derivative LV:in 0 x3 3 2 f ( x ) = 3 ( x 2 ) ( x 6 ) f L (2 ) = 62 Moa Moa : f ( x ) = x 12 x + 36 x + 30 f L (0 ) = 30 Gustav Gustav : f ( x ) = x 3 + 12 x 2 36 x + 30 f ( x ) = 3 ( x 2 ) ( x 6 )

When asserting your work with the following problem, your teacher will take into consideration: How general your solution is How well you justify your conclusions. How well you carry out your calculations. How well you present your work. How well you express yourself mathematically. Drugs injected directly into the bloodstream start to take effect immediately, but it may take one or two days before full effect is achieved. Patients are therefore injected with equal doses of drug at equal time intervals during a period of time. For a certain drug, the amount y mg in the bloodstream, t hours after the first injection of 10 mg , is described by
y = 10 e mg How many mg of the drug is still in the bloodstream 5 hours after the first injection? After 8 hours , the patient receives a second does of the drug. In total, how many mg of the drug is there in the bloodstream immediately after the second injection?

The graph above illustrates a simple model for how the total amount M mg of the drug in the bloodstream of the patient varies as a function time t hours until the patient receives the fifth does. Write an expression describing the total amount of the drug in the bloodstream immediately after the fifth injection. Calculate this amount. Assume that a patient continues to receive drug doses in accordance with the model given above over a longer period of time. The total amount of the drug in the bloodstream will increase, but cannot increase indefinitely. Determine the upper limit for the total amount of the drug in the bloodstream. (2/5/)
