1. (4 + 4 pts) Consider the function f(x) = x
3
3x + 27.
(a) Find the critical points and determine local (relative) maximum and minimum values of
f(x) (if any).
ANSWER:
f

(x) = 3x
2
3 = 0 = x
2
= 1 = x = 1.
Hence, x = 1 and x = 1 are critical points.
x < 1 = f

(x) = 3x
2
3 > 0.
So, f(x) on (, 1).
1 < x < 1 = f

(x) = 3x
2
3 < 0.
So, f(x) on (1, 1).
x > 1 = f

(x) = 3x
2
3 > 0.
So, f(x) on (1, ).
Therefore, f(1) = (1)
3
3(1) + 27 = 29 is a local maximum value and f(1) =
1
3
3(1) + 27 = 25 is a local minimum value of f(x).
(b) Does the function f(x) = x
3
3x+27 satisfy the conditions of the Mean Value Theorem
on the interval [3, 3]? If so, nd the values of c that satisfy the conclusion of the Mean
Value Theorem.
ANSWER:
f(x) = x
3
3x+27 is a continuous and dierentiable. So, it is continuous on [3, 3] and
dierentiable on (3, 3). Hence, by the MVT there must exist c (3, 3), such that
f(3) f(3)
3 (3)
= f

(c).
That is
45 9
6
= 3c
2

= 3.
Therefore, c =

3.
2. (4 + 4 + 4 + 2 pts) Let y = f(x) =
x
(x + 3)
2
. The rst and second derivatives are
f

(x) =
x + 3
(x + 3)
3
and f

(x) =
2x 12
(x + 3)
4
.
(a) Determine the domain, x and y-intercepts, horizontal and vertical asymptotes of y =
f(x) (if any).
ANSWER:
Dom(f(x)) = {x R | (x + 3)
2
= 0} = {x R | x = 3} = (, 3) (3, ).
f(x) = 0 implies that x = 0, that is x = 0. So, x = 0 is an x-intercept.
f(0) = 0, so, the function has y-intercept at y = 0.
lim
x
f(x) = 0
+
and lim
x
f(x) = 0

. So, y = 0 is a horizontal asymptote.

lim
x3

f(x) = lim
x3
+
f(x) = . So, x = 3 is a vertical asymptote.

(b) Determine the intervals where f(x) is increasing and where it is decreasing. Find the
coordinates of the local extremum point(s) of f(x) (if any).
ANSWER:
f

(x) does not exist at x = 3, however f(x) is not dened there. f

(x) = 0 implies
x + 3 = 0, that is x = 3. And f(3) =
1
12
. So, (3,
1
12
) is the only critical point.
f

(x) < 0 on the intervals (, 3) and (3, ); and f

(x) > 0 on the interval (3, 3).

Hence, f(x) is decreasing on the intervals (, 3) and (3, ), and increasing on the
interval (3, 3). Therefore, the point (3,
1
12
) is a local maximum point.
(c) Determine the intervals where the graph of f(x) is concave up and where it is concave
down. Find the coordinates of inection point(s) of f(x) (if any).
ANSWER:
f

(x) does not exist at x = 3, however f(x) is not dened there. f

(x) = 0 implies
2(x 6) = 0, that is x = 6. Since f(6) =
2
27
, the point (6,
2
27
) is a possible inection
point.
f

(x) > 0 on the interval (6, ); and f

(x) < 0 on the intervals (, 3) and (3, 6).

Hence, f(x) is concave up on the interval (6, ), and concave down on the intervals
(, 3) and (3, 6). Therefore, (6,
2
27
) is an inection point.
(d) Use all the obtained information to sketch the graph of y = f(x). What is the range of
f(x)?
ANSWER:
From parts (a) and (b) it follows that the function has no local or global minimum,
and the local maximum point (3,
1
12
) is also the global maximum point of the function.
Therefore, the range of f(x) is (,
1
12
].
The scanned copy of the graph of y = f(x) is given on the separate page.
3. (6 pts) Suppose the percentage of drug in a patients bloodstream t hours after an injection
is given by
C(t) = 0.12te

t
4
, 0 t 10.
Determine the maximum percent (up to 3 decimal places) of the drug in the patients blood-
stream on the interval [0, 10]. After how many hours is the percentage of the drug in the
patients bloodstream a maximum?
ANSWER:
Since C(t) is continuous on [0, 10], it has global maximum and global minimum on [0, 10].
C

(t) = 0.12e

t
4
+ 0.12te

t
4
(
1
4
) = 0.03e

t
4
(4 t).
So,
C

(t) = 0 = 4 t = 0 = t = 4.
Hence, t = 4 is a critical point. Since C(t) is dierentiable, there is no other critical points.
C

(t) > 0 t [0, 4) and C

(t) < 0 t (4, 10] imply that Thus, C(t) on [0, 4) and
2
C(t) on (4, 10].
So, C(4) = 0.12 4e

4
4
=
0.48
e
0.17658 is the global maximum value.
Therefore, after four hours the percentage of the drug in the patients bloodstream is a
maximum and the maximum percent is 17.658%.
4. (3 + 3 + 3 pts)
(a) Use the geometric interpretation of denite integrals to evaluate

ANSWER:
Consider the equation of circumference of the radius of 3 centered at the origin: x
2
+y
2
=
9. Solving the equation for y, we obtain y =

4 x
2
. The area of the corresponding
circle equals 3
2
= 9. Therefore,
3

9 x
2
dx is dened as a signed area of the semi-
circle located above the x-axis and consequently,
