A

2

3
Q

A point moves along the x-axis, with its position, x, at time t > 0 given by
x (t) = t ^3 − 12t ^2 + 45t − 50.
For which of the following values of t is the point momentarily at rest (motionless)?

A

t = 3 and t = 5

4
Q

Given the position function p (x) = e^ 2x, find the acceleration function.

4e^2x

5
Q

A ball is thrown directly upward. Its height h (in feet) above the ground after t seconds is given by h (t) = 22 + 80t − 16t ^2 . How long after it is thrown is the ball falling at 48 ft / sec?

A

4 sec

6
Q

True or false?
The velocity with which an object is thrown upward from ground level is equal to the velocity with which it strikes the ground. Ignore air resistance.

A

false

7
Q

A car traveling at a rate of 30 ft / sec is approaching an intersection. When the car is 120 ft from the intersection, a truck traveling at a rate of 40 ft / sec crosses the intersection. If the roads are at right angles to each other, how fast are the car and the truck separating 2 seconds after the truck crosses the intersection?

A

14 ft / sec

Q

A baseball diamond has the shape of a square with sides 90 feet long. A player is running from second to third at a speed of 28 ft / sec. At the time he is 30 feet from third, what is the rate of change of his distance from the home plate?

A

−28√10 ft/sec

9
Q

A man 6 feet tall is walking toward a building at the rate of 5 ft / sec. If there is a light on the ground 50 ft from the building, how fast is the man’s shadow on the building growing shorter when he is 30 ft from the building?

A

−15/4 ft/sec

10
Q

A man 6 feet tall walks at a rate of 5 ft / sec away from a light that is 15 feet above the ground. When he is 10 feet from the base of the light, at what rate is the length of his shadow changing?

A

10/3 ft/sec

11
Q

A

30 rad / hr

12
Q

A 15 foot ladder is leaning against a wall of a house. The base of the ladder is pulled away from the wall at a rate of 2 ft / sec. Find the rate at which the area of the triangle is changing when the base of the ladder is 9 ft from the wall.

A

21/4 ft^2/sec

13
Q

A right circular cylinder has a diameter of 12 in. and a height of 12 in. If water is flowing in at the rate of 4π in3 per minute, find the rate of change of the height when the height is 4 in.

A

1/9 in/min

14
Q

In order for a rectangular solid package to be mailed, the sum of the height and the perimeter of the base cannot exceed 108 in. If the base of a package is a square, what is the length of the side of the square that would maximize the volume of the package?

A

18 in

Q

A physical fitness room consists of a rectangular region with a semicircle at each end. If the perimeter of the room is to be a 200 ft running track, what is the radius of the semicircle that will make the area of the rectangular region a maximum?

A

50/π ft

16
Q

A piece of wire 20 in. long is cut into two pieces, and each piece is bent into the shape of a square. What should the lengths of the two pieces be if the sum of the areas of the two squares is a minimum?
