390 STEP 5. Build Your Test-Taking Confidence
- The correct answer is (C).
I. f′(0)/=0 since the tangent to f(x)at
x=0 is not parallel to thex-axis.
II. f has an absolute maximum atx=a.
III. f′′is less than 0 on (0,b) since fis
concave downward.
Thus, only statements II and III are true. - The correct answer is (A).

Another approach is to use partial fractions to
obtain a telescoping sum.- The correct answer is (A).

Therefore, only series I converges.- The correct answer is (A).
I. f(−1)= 0
II.Sincef is increasing,f′(−1)>0.
III. Sincef is concave upward,f′′(−1)>0.
Thus,f(−1) has the smallest value. - The correct answer is (D).
The velocity vectorv(t)=〈 2 − 3 t^2 ,
πsin(πt)〉=(2− 3 t^2 )i+(πsin(πt))j.

Evaluate att=2 to find the constant.
s(2)=(4−8)i+(−1 cos(2π))j+C
= 4 i+ 3 j
s(2)=(−4)i−j+C= 4 i+ 3 j
C= 8 i+ 4 j
Therefore,s(t)=(
