PROBLEM 1  (7 Points each)  Please answer the following true or false.  If false, explain why or provide a counter example.  If true, explain why.

  1. Let f(x) be differentiable on [0,1], then there is a positive c less than 1 such that
        f(1) = f(0) + f '(c)
    Solution

  2. Let f(x) be a differentiable function such that f '(c) = f ''(c) = 0 , then f has neither a relative maximum nor a relative minimum at x = c .
    Solution

  3.  If f ''(x) < 0 for all x between 0 and 1 and f(0) = 0  then f(1) < 0.
    Solution

  4. If f(x) is a periodic differentiable function, that is f(x + p) = f(x)  for some p and all x, then f '(x) has an infinite number of roots.
    Solution

 

PROBLEM 2  Consider the function (22 Points)

    Find

               

    Solution

PROBLEM 5    (20 Points)

Sketch the graph of a function with the following properties:



  •


  • f ''(x) > 0 only for     x < -3,     -1 < x < 2,     and     3 < x < 5
  • f '(x) > 0 only for      x < -2 and   x > 4
  • f '(-2) = f '(2) = f '(4) = 0
  • f ''(-3) = f ''(2) = f ''(3) = 0

  Solution

 

PROBLEM 6   (20 Points)

You plan to build a rectangular office building of minimal cost with a with a wall down the middle to subdivide the building into two offices as shown in the picture.  The outer walls cost $500 per foot to construct and the divider wall costs $100 per foot to construct.  If the combined square footage of the two offices is to be 1,000 square feet, what dimensions should you make the building?
