Take the first derivative of the following function, then decide which derivative test you should *probably* use?

h(x) = 6x^2-10x+31

 h'(x) = 12x-10 

and you should *probably* use the Second Drivative Test.

Find the critical points and inflection point of  f(x) = -x^3+3x-3 .

Critical points: (-1, -5) and (1, -1)

Inflection point: (0, -3)

Find the absolute minimum and absolute maximum of the following graph.

Absolute minimum: (-2, -32)

Absolute maximum: (1.5, 2)

The demand of a certain item (q) is given as p = 500 - 2q. The cost of production for that item to the manufacturer is $4 per item, plus $1,000 in fixed costs. How would you write the Revenue and Cost functions based on this information?

R(q) = 500q - 2q^2

C(q) = 4q + 1,000

200

Take the first derivative of the following function, then decide which derivative test you should *probably* use?

g(x) = 2e^{x^2+2x+1}

g'(x) = (4x+4)e^{x^2+2x+1}

and you should *probably* use the First Derivative Test.

200

Find the critical point for 

g(x) = 2e^{x^2+2x+1}

Critical Point: (-1, 2)

Find the local maximum(s) and local minimum(s) of the following graph.


Local minimum: (-2,-32)

Local minimum: (1, -5)

Local maximum: (0, 0)

If  R(q) = 500q-2q^2 and C(q) = 4q + 1,000, find the quantity q that would maximize Profit.

q = 124 items

300

Use the First or Second Derivative Test to determine the minimum(s) and/or maximum(s) of the function.

 j(x) = 2x^3-9x^2-60x+98 

Minimum at (5, -177)

Maximum at (-2, 166)

Identify the intervals of increasing and decreasing, and the intervals of concavity for  f(x) = -x^3+3x-3 .

Increasing: (-1, 1)

Decreasing:  (- \infty, -1) \cup (1, \infty) 

Concave Up: 

(- \infty, 0) 

Concave Down: 

(0, \infty)

** DAILY DOUBLE **

Sketch the curve of  f(x) = -x^3+3x-3 .

If the demand for q items is p = 500 - 2q, and price is set to $22 per item, find the elasticity of demand. Will an increase in price lead to an increase in revenue?

Round to 3 decimal places.

E = 0.046

It is inelastic, so an increase in price will lead to an increase in revenue.
