Consider the quartic (fourth-degree) polynomial \(f(x)=x^{4}+b x^{2}+d\) consisting only of even-powered terms. a. Show that the graph of \(f\) is symmetric about the \(y\) -axis. b. Show that if \(b \geq 0\), then \(f\) has one critical point and no inflection points. c. Show that if \(b<0,\) then \(f\) has three critical points and two inflection points. Find the critical points and inflection points, and show that they alternate along the \(x\) -axis. Explain why one critical point is always \(x=0\) d. Prove that the number of distinct real roots of \(f\) depends on the values of the coefficients \(b\) and \(d,\) as shown in the figure. The curve that divides the plane is the parabola \(d=b^{2} / 4\) e. Find the number of real roots when \(b=0\) or \(d=0\) or \(d=b^{2} / 4\)
The ranking of growth rates given in the text applies for \(x \rightarrow
\infty .\) However, these rates may not be evident for small values of \(x .\)
For example, an exponential grows faster than any power of \(x .\) However, for

Consider the following descriptions of the vertical motion of an object subject only to the acceleration due to gravity. Begin with the acceleration equation \(a(t)=v^{\prime}(t)=g,\) where \(g=-9.8 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}\). a. Find the velocity of the object for all relevant times. b. Find the position of the object for all relevant times. c. Find the time when the object reaches its highest point. What is the height? d. Find the time when the object strikes the ground. A stone is thrown vertically upward with a velocity of \(30 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}\) from the edge of a cliff 200 m above a river.
The theory of interference of coherent oscillators requires the limit \(\lim _{\delta \rightarrow 2 m \pi} \frac{\sin ^{2}(N \delta / 2)}{\sin ^{2}(\delta / 2)},\) where \(N\) is a positive integer and \(m\) is any integer. Show that the value of this limit is \(N^{2}\).
Given the following velocity functions of an object moving along a line, find the position function with the given initial position. Then graph both the velocity and position functions. $$v(t)=6 t^{2}+4 t-10 ; s(0)=0$$
