Sincef′′(0)=3, the graph of fis concave
upward atx=0. Sincef′(0)=2 the slope of
linelis 2. The equation of linelusing
y−y 1 =m(x−x 1 )isy− 1 =2(x−0) or
y= 2 x+1. Atx= 0 .1,y=2(0.1)+ 1 = 1 .2.
Thus,f(0.1)≈ 1 .2.
- The correct answer is (D).

- The correct answer is (C).
The velocity of the particle isx′(t)=−8 sin(4t)
andy′(t)=t. The speed of the particle is
|v(t)|=
√(
−8 sin (4t)
) 2
+(t)^2 , and att= 1
the speed of the particle is
√(
−8 sin (4(1))
) 2
+(1)^2 ≈ 6. 136.
- The correct answer is (C).
Sincef′>0 on the interval (−∞,−1),f
is increasing on (−∞,−1). Thus, statement I is
false. Alsof′>0on(−∞, 2) and f′<0on
(2,∞), which implies thatf is increasing on
(−∞, 2) and decreasing on (2,∞), respectively.
Therefore,fhas an absolute maximum atx=2.
Statement II is true. Finally,f′is decreasing
on (−∞,−1) and increasing on (−1, 0), which
meansf′′<0on(−∞,−1) andf′′>0on
(−1, 0). Thus, fis concave down on (−∞,−1)
and concave up on (−1, 0) producing a point
of inflection atx=−1. Statement III is true.
