  1. 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.

  2. The correct answer is (A).

Another approach is to use partial fractions to
obtain a telescoping sum.


  1. The correct answer is (A).
    Which of the following series are convergent?

Therefore, only series I converges.


  1. 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.

  2. The correct answer is (D).
    The velocity vectorv(t)=〈 2 − 3 t^2 ,
    πsin(πt)〉=(2− 3 t^2 )i+(πsin(πt))j.
    Integrate to find the position.
    s(t)=(2t−t^3 )i+

j+C.
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)=

Evaluate att=3.
s(3)=(8+ 6 −27)i+(4−cos(3π))j
s(3)=− 13 i+ 5 j
The position vector is
