1. 

y" changes sign at x =-5 so there is a point of inflection at x = -5.

Answer D
   
2.  Answer B
   
3. 

Answer C
   
4. 

A is a restatement of the Mean Value Theorem for Derivatives.  So it is true all the time with the given conditions.

B is not true necessarily unless f(a)=f(b).

C is true because f is continuous on the closed interval and differentiable on the open interval.

D is true because f is continuous on the closed interval and differentiable on the open interval.

E is true since f is continuous on the closed interval.

Answer B

8.  If h(x)=f(x)g(x) then usually, but we are told that so either g(x)=0 or f '(x)=0.  We are told that g(x) >0 for all x, so then f '(x) must be zero.  This leads to f being a constant.  Since f(0)=1, then f(x)=1 Answer E
   
9.  The total number of barrels of oil that passed through the pipeline is or the area bounded by the function, t=0, t=24, and the t axis.  This approximately 600+600+600+600+600 or 3000 barrels.

Answer D
   
11.  Since f is a linear function, f ' (x) is a constant, and f "(x) is zero.

 

Answer A
   
12. 

Therefore the limit from the left does not equal the limit from the right, no limit exists at x=2.

Answer E
   
13.  f is not differentiable at x=0 because of the discontinuity or x=2 because of the vertical tangent line.  Answer B

Answer E
   
17.  From the graph we know that f(1)=0, f '(1)>0, and f "(1) <0 so the correct order is f "(1) < f(1) < f '(1) Answer D
   
18. 

Tangent line:  y=1(x-0)+1 or y = x+1

Answer B
   
19.  Since the second derivative is given, we know the second derivative equals zero at x=0, x=-1, and x=2.  The sign study of f " is
(-1,0)
positive positive negative positive

So there are two points of inflections.  One at x=-1 and one at x=0

 

Answer C

 

 

   
20.  can be thought of as finding the area under the function starting at x=-3.  Starting at -3 and finding area to the right of -3 will always yield a positive answer.  Starting at -3 and finding area to the left of -3 will yield a negative answer.  Starting at -3 and integrating to -3 is the only place that will yield zero area.

 

Answer A

\

so the only answer of this form is B

Answer B
   
22. 

The sign of f ' only changes at x=0.  When x >0 f ' >0.

 

 

Answer C
   
23.  From the given graph of f we know that just to the right of x=0 (call this point D) the slope is zero.  As x approaches positive infinity and negative infinity the slope also approaches zero.  Two graphs are possible so far.  A and C.  Studying the slope to the right and left of the location D we notice the slope to the right is negative, to the left it is positive.  This rules out graph C.  Answer A
   
24.  First find a(t) by differentiating v(t).  Differentiating a(t) to see how a(t) is changing:

a(0)=12

a(3)=27-18+12=21

We can use the closed interval test.  Checking the values of a(t) at the critical values and the endpoints.  From this we can see that the maximum acceleration is at t=3 or 21. 

Answer D
   
25.  Answer D
   
26.  Setting up a sketch of this problem might help:  

The two given points have been graphed.  The red line is f(x)=1/2.  The red dot is the only value of k that provides two solutions.  If k=1/2 there would be one solution.  If k = 1, 2, or 3 there would no solutions.
