Problem 1

Rolle's Theorem In your own words, describe Rolle's Theorem.

Problem 2

Optimization Problems In your own words, describe the guidelines for solving applied minimum and maximum problems.

Problem 2

Horizontal Asymptote What does it mean for the graph of a function to have a horizontal asymptote?

Problem 4

Limits at Infinity In your own words, summarize the guidelines for finding limits at infinity of rational functions.

Problem 4

Polynomial What are the maximum numbers of relative extrema and points of inflection that a fifth-degree polynomial can have? Explain.

Problem 8

Using Newton's Method In Exercises \(7-16,\) use Newton's Method to approximate the zero(s) of the function. Continue the iterations until two successive approximations differ by less than 0.001. Then find the zero(s) using a graphing utility and compare the results. \(f(x)=2-x^{3}\)

Problem 11

Maximum Area , find the length and width of a rectangle that has the given perimeter and a maximum area. Perimeter: 80 meters

Problem 13

Comparing \(\Delta y\) and \(d y\) In Exercises \(13-18\) use the information to find and compare \(\Delta y\) and \(d y\) . $$\begin{array}{ll}{\text { Function }} & {x \text { -Value }} \\ {y=0.5 x^{3}} & {x=1}\end{array} \quad \begin{array}{ll}{\text { Differential of } x} \\\ {\Delta x=d x=0.1}\end{array}$$

Problem 15

In Exercises 13-16, find each limit, if it exists. (a) $$\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{5-2 x^{3 / 2}}{3 x^{2}-4}$$ (b) $$\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{5-2 x^{3 / 2}}{3 x^{3 / 2}-4}$$ (c) $$\lim _{x \rightarrow \infty} \frac{5-2 x^{3 / 2}}{3 x-4}$$

Problem 16

Determining Concavity In Exercises \(5-16,\) determine the open intervals on which the graph of the function is concave upward or concave downward. \(y=x+\frac{2}{\sin x}, \quad(-\pi, \pi)\)
