s   =    ,  so  A   =       =   

If  we  differentiate   this    with    respect to  t,  we  get     =   .

Now we  plug    in      =   1.6 to  get     =    (1.6)  =   0.2P.


  1. C The slope of the tangent line is the derivative of the function.


Recall  that     ax =   ax  ln  a.  Here    we  get f′(x)   =   3x  ln  3.

Now we  set the derivative  equal   to  1   and solve   for x.

Using   the calculator, we  get 3x  ln  3   =   1,  so  x   ≈   −.086.


  1. A Use the Chain Rule to find h′(a): h′(x) = f′(g(x))(g′(x)).


We  substitute  a   for x,  and because g(a)    =   c,  we  get h′(a)   =   f   ′(c)(g′(a)) =   6b.


  1. B First, we should graph the two curves.


Next,   we  need    to  find    the points  of  intersection    of  the two curves, which   we  do  by  setting them
equal to each other and solving for x.
