Find the intersection points by settingx=−x^2.
Rewritex=−x^2 asx^2 +x=0orx(x+ 1 )= 0
and obtainx=0 andx=−1. The area of the

- The correct answer is (D).
Applying the quotient rule for derivatives, you
havef′(x)=
( 2 )( 2 x− 1 )^2 − 2 ( 2 x− 1 )( 2 )( 2 x)
( 2 x− 1 )^4
=
2 ( 2 x− 1 ) [(( 2 x− 1 )− 4 x)]
( 2 x− 1 )^4
=
2 ( 2 x− 1 )(− 2 x− 1 )
( 2 x− 1 )^4
=
− 2 ( 2 x− 1 )( 2 x+ 1 )

- The correct answer is (C).
Sincefandgare inverse functions, if (a,b)is
on the graph off, then (b,a) is on the graph
ofg, andg′(b)=

f′(a)
. Note thatf(4)=2,
which implies thatg(2)=4. Therefore,

- The correct answer is (B).
Note that the slopes of the tangents depend on
they-coordinates and only they-coordinates.
Also, note that wheny>1, the slopes are
positive, and wheny<1, the slopes are
negative. Of the given choices, only the
differential equation in choice B satisfies these
conditions. - The correct choice is (D).
Sincef′′(x)>0,f′(x)is increasing, and in
this case, f′(4.5)<f′(4.6)< f′(4.7). Note
thatf′( 4. 5 )≈
10. 2 − 10
4. 6 − 4. 5
≈2, and
f′(4.7)≈
10. 8 − 10. 2
4. 7 − 4. 6
≈6. Also note that
slope of tangent=f′(4.6); therefore,
2 <f′(4.6)<6.
