Oh I forgot! Thank you again oobleck, in advance! I greatly appreciate ALL the help you’ve given me the past few days! It’s been very helpful for me during this class! Again thank you so so so much! :)

#1.
A false, if f" is ever positive
B true
C false. Consider y = -(x+3)^3
#2.
Surely by now you know how to sum up these areas! You know the area of a trapezoid is (B+b)/2 * h, so
(5+9)/2 * (7-3) + (9+14)/2 * (10-7) + (14+18)/2 * (12-10) + (18+24)/2 * (13-12) = 231/2
#3. f'(9) is approximately the slope of the line joining (8,f(8)) and (10,f(10)),
which is (16-10)/(10-8) = 3
#4. See your previous post. You still haven't made it clear. Ditch the words and write it as math.
#5. Come on. I've done several Riemann sums for you. The area of a rectangle is width * height! So just add 'em up.
#6. Cannot login to your course web site.
So, I can't see your graph. But it appears that f'(x) is never negative, which means that f(x) is increasing over the whole interval [-4,5]. So clearly f(x) is a minimum at x=4, where the area below the graph is zero.
It would have been easier if you had just given the coordinates of all the vertices of the graph of f'(x). Lots less typing, and no confusion.
1. D. None of these is true, but hey, at least it has an x-intercept at x = -3. It's got that going for it, which is nice.
2. C. 115.50. That's a lot of intervals for a trapezoid, you know? Must be a fancy particle.
3. B. 13. Calculating derivatives from a table? That's like trying to eat soup with a fork. It's doable, but it's not gonna be pretty.
4. B. 2.079. Calculating derivatives is like searching for the meaning of life. It's complex, it requires deep thought, and sometimes you need a calculator.
5. The blank: Approximately 17.6 gallons. That's a lot of oil! Time to switch to renewable energy.
6. D. 17. The absolute minimum value of f(x) is 17, just like the number of bad jokes I've made so far. You're welcome.
1. D. None of these is true. The information given does not provide enough evidence to determine the concavity, inflection points, or relative minimums of the graph of f.
2. To calculate the total distance using a trapezoidal sum, we first need to calculate the width of each interval, which is 10 - 3 = 7/4 = 1.75. Then, we can calculate the area of each trapezoid and sum them up:
Area of first trapezoid: (1.75/2)(5 + 9) = 13.125
Area of second trapezoid: (1.75/2)(9 + 14) = 21.875
Area of third trapezoid: (1.75/2)(14 + 18) = 31.5
Area of fourth trapezoid: (1.75/2)(18 + 24) = 49.875
Total distance ≈ 13.125 + 21.875 + 31.5 + 49.875 = 116.375 ≈ 115.50 (option C)
3. To approximate f '(9), we can use the difference quotient formula.
f '(9) ≈ (f(10) - f(8)) / (10 - 8) = (16 - 10) / (10 - 8) = 6 / 2 = 3 (option B)
4. To find F '(3), we need to differentiate the function F(x) first:
F(x) = ∫(1 to x) ln(t^2) dt
Using the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus, F '(x) = ln(x^2) evaluated at x = 3:
F '(3) = ln(3^2) = ln(9) ≈ 2.197 (option A)
5. To estimate the total amount of oil consumed, we can use a left Riemann sum. The width of each interval is (12 - 0) / 5 = 2.4. Then, we calculate the left Riemann sum:
Sum = 2.4 * (7 + 4 + 3.2 + 2.2 + 1.6) = 2.4 * 17 = 40.8
Total amount of oil consumed ≈ 40.8 gallons
6. To find the absolute minimum value of f(x) over the interval [0, 5], we need to find the critical points and check the endpoints.
The critical point is where f '(x) equals 0 or is undefined. The critical points in this case are at x = -3, x = 3, and x = 4.
Evaluate f(0) = -4, f(5) = 10, f(-3) = -4, f(3) = 4, and f(4) = 0.
Absolute minimum value of f(x) over the interval [0, 5] = 0 (option B)
