1. Precalculus: (20 ft/sec)(15 sec) = 300 ft

2. Calculus required: Velocity is not constant.

Distance (20 ft/sec)(15 sec) = 300 ft

3. Calculus required: Slope of the tangent line at x = 2 is the rate of change, and equals about 0.16.

4. Precalculus: rate of change = slope = 0.08

5. (a) Precalculus: Area = 12 bh = 12 (5)(4) = 10 sq. units

(b) Calculus required: Area = bh

(c) At P(2, 8), the slope is 2. You can improve your approximation by considering values of x close to 2.

The instantaneous rate of change of an automobiles position is the velocity of the automobile, and can be determined by the speedometer.

By the Intermediate Value Theorem, g(c) = 0 for at

x0.49. Using the root feature, you find that

x0.4918.

99.f (x) = x2 + x 1

f is continuous on [0, 5].

f (0) = 1 and f (5) = 29 1 < 11 < 29

The Intermediate Value Theorem applies.

x2 + x 1= 11

x2 + x 12= 0

( x + 4)( x 3)= 0

x = 4 or x= 3

c = 3( x= 4 is not in the interval.)

So, f ( 3)= 11.

100.f (x) = x2 6x + 8

f is continuous on [0, 3]. f (0) = 8 and f (3) = 11 < 0 < 8

The Intermediate Value Theorem applies.

x2 6x + 8 = 0

( x 2)( x 4) = 0

x = 2 or x = 4

c = 2 ( x = 4 is not in the interval.)

So, f ( 2) = 0.

x = 2

( x2 + x + 3 has no real solution.)

c = 2

So, f (2) = 4.

( x 2)( x 3) = 0

x = 2 or x= 3

c = 3 ( x= 2 is not in the interval.)

So, f (3)= 6.

103. (a) The limit does not exist at x = c.

(b) The function is not defined at x = c.

(c) The limit exists at x = c, but it is not equal to the value of the function at x = c.

105. If f and g are continuous for all real x, then so is f + g (Theorem 2.11, part 2). However, f g might not be

continuous if g (x) = 0. For example, let f (x ) = x and

g(x)= x2 1. Then f and g are continuous for all real

x, butf g is not continuous at x = 1.

lim f ( x ) = lim g( x ) (if they exist) and at least one of

these limits then does not equal the corresponding function value at x = c.

109. False. A rational function can be written asP ( x )Q ( x ) where P and Q are polynomials of degree m

111. The functions agree for integer values of x:

g(x) = 3 x = 3 ( x) = 3 + x

f ( x ) = 3 + x = 3 + xfor x an integer

However, for non-integer values of x, the functions differ by 1.

f (x ) = 3 +x= g (x ) 1 = 2 x .

For example,

f (12 ) = 3 + 0 = 3, g(12 ) = 3 ( 1) = 4.

115. Let s( t ) be the position function for the run up to the campsite. s ( 0) = 0 (t = 0 corresponds to 8:00 A.M., s( 20) = k (distance to campsite)). Let r ( t ) be the

position function for the run back down the mountain: r ( 0) = k , r(10) = 0. Let f (t ) = s (t ) r (t).

When t= 0 (8:00 A.M.),

f (0) = s (0) r (0) = 0 k < 0.

When t= 10 (8:00 A.M.), f (10) = s (10) r(10) > 0.

Becausef (0) < 0 and f (10) > 0, then there must be a

value t in the interval [0, 10] such that f (t) = 0. If

f (t)= 0, then s ( t ) r ( t ) = 0, which gives us

s(t )= r (t). Therefore, at some time t, where

0 t 10, the position functions for the run up and the run down are equal.

b 0 and there exists x2 in [a , b] such thatb,

f ( x2 ) < 0. Then by the Intermediate Value Theorem, f ( x ) must equal zero for some value of x in

[x1 , x2 ] (or [x2 , x1 ] if x2 < x1). So, f would have a zero in [a , b], which is a contradiction. Therefore, f (x) > 0 for all x in [a , b] or f ( x ) < 0 for all x in [a , b].

118. Let c be any real number. Then lim f (x) does not exist

128.(a)Definef ( x ) =f 2 ( x ) f1( x ). Becausef1 andf2 are continuous on [a , b], so is f.

f (a ) =f 2 (a ) f1(a) > 0 and f (b ) =f 2 (b ) f1(b) < 0

By the Intermediate Value Theorem, there exists c in [a , b]such that f (c) = 0.

f (c ) = f 2 (c ) f1 (c ) = 0 f1 (c ) = f 2 (c)

(b)Let f1( x ) = x and f2 (x ) = cos x, continuous on [0, 2],f1 (0) f2 ( 2).

So by part (a), there exists c in [0, 2] such that c = cos(c).

P ( 2 ) =()= P(1) 2 + 1 = 2

P ( 5) =(2 2)= P( 2 )2 + 1 = 5

Continuing this pattern, you see that P (x ) = x for infinitely many values of x.

So, the finite degree polynomial must be constant: P (x ) = x for all x.
