Nojustification is necessary.(i) T F The absolute minimum value of f (x) = 1 − x2on [−1, 2] is −3.(ii) T F If f has a local minimum at c and f is differentiable at c, then f00(c) > 0.(iii) T F An inflection point is always a critical point.(iv) T F If f has a relative maximum at at c and f is differentiable at c, then f0(c) = 0.(v) T F If f0(c) = 0, then f has a relative extremum at c.(vi) T F If c is a critical point of f , then f0(c) = 0.(vii) T F If f00(x) > 0 for all x and f0(c) = 0, then c is the global minimum of f(viii) T F If f0(x) > 0 on (a, b), then f is increasing on (a, b).(ix) T F If f00(x) > 0 on (a, b), then f is concave up on (a, b).(x) T F If f0(c) = 0 and f0(c) > 0, then c is a relative minimum./ 10–3–version 1.0β, 2008-04-11 06:384 Math 1a Midterm II April 11, 2008 44.

(10 Points) Romeo and Juliet are on opposite sides of a circular pond of radius 1 mi.To reach Juliet, Romeo can run around the pond at a speed of 5mi/hr, or he can swim at aspeed of 2mi/hr. He decides the best thing to do is run part of the way around then swimthe rest of the way in a straight line, so as to minimize the total time it takes to reach hislove.Set up a calculus problem for Romeo to do. Draw a picture and label it with appropriatenotation. Express the objective function as a function of a single variable and give thedomain of that function. You do not have to solve the actual problem—we’ll leave that forRomeo!/ 10–5–version 1.0β, 2008-04-11 06:386 Math 1a Midterm II April 11, 2008 66. (10 Points) We’re starting a business selling political buttons. The cost of making xbuttons is given by the functionC(x) = x3+ 2x2+ 100x + 2200where C(x) is measured in dollars and x is the quantity in thousands of buttons.How many buttons should we make to minimize average cost? What is that minimumaverage cost?/ 10–6–version 1.0β, 2008-04-11 06:38(This page intentionally left blank. You can use it for scratch
