1. (a) Length, AG (or DE) (b) Slope of the (tangent) line through A and F (c) Length, AH (d) Area of ABCD
1 2. f (1) < 0 < f (2) < 1 < 2 (f (4) f (2)) < f (4)

3. Graph of f :

4. (a) Between x = 3 and x = 5 the graph is close to a straight line with slope f (5) f (3) 1 . 2 2 (b) P appears to be constant near x = 4, so we should have P (4) = 0. (c) Between x = 2 and x = 4, P is increasing and P therefore positive. From x = 4 to x = 10, P is decreasing and P is therefore negative. At x = 4, P is 0. (d) Using the horizontal line test we can see that P is one-to-one, and hence P 1 exists. If P 1 (1) = x, then P (x) = 1. From the graph it appears that P (4) = 1, so P 1 (1) = 4. (e) Since the graph of P 1 is the reection of that of P in the line y = x, 1 (P 1 ) (1) = 2. P (4) 5. Units of H are metres per kilometre. The sign of H is negative (H is decreasing).

6. (a) Graph of h:

(b) h (3.5) should be negative, since Dr Xs temperature is decreasing after the injection. (c) h (5) = 0 says that after 5 hours Dr Xs temperature is not changing (has stabilized). (d) h (7) = 1 say that after 7 hours, Dr Xs temperature is increasing at 1 degree per hour. (e) If the graph is concave up, this means that the h (7) is positive, and so the rate at which the temperature is increasing is increasing. This calls for a doctor! (f) h(7.5) h(7) + h (7) 0.5 = 38.5. 7. (a) Since f is decreasing on the interval ( 1 , ), we expect f (1) to be negative. 3 (b) f (1) = lim f (1 + h) f (1) h0 h 3 = lim h0 2(2 + 3h) 3 = 4

(c) y

3 = 4 (x 1).

8. (a) f (x) = = = = = = (b) The proof is similar. (c) We must have f (0) = 0. First convince yourself graphically that this must be the case, then try to write out an algebraic proof. f (x + h) f (x) h h f (x k) f (x) lim (put h = k) k0 k f (x + k) f (x) lim (since f is even) k0 k f (x + k) f (x) lim k0 k f (x + k) f (x) lim (k 0 k 0) k0 k f (x) lim
