Chapter 2 Review

These are questions taken off old math127 exams. They are offered to give you a sense of the types of questions you could see on your final exam. They are by no means intended to be a sneak peak at the final exam, rather they are intended to give you a means of practicing on the types of questions I will put on the exam.

1.

Let = 1.7 . We want to approximate 2. If we do this using the interval from x = 2 to x = 2+h, where h = 0.001, the resulting approximation will be: (A) 1.2499 (B) 1.5339 (C) 1.2955 (D) 1.6085 (E) 1.4767 The function f(x) is graphed below. At which labeled point is f ( x ) the smallest? y (A) Q R (B) R W Q (C) T S X (D) U T (E) X V

A child is blowing up a balloon. The volume, V, of the balloon (measured in cubic centimeters) is a function of how long the child has been blowing into it, t, (measured in seconds). Thus, we have V = f (t ) . Which of the following statements best describes the derivative f (t ) ? f (t ) is positive and the units of f (t ) are cubic centimeters (A) f (t ) is negative and the units of f (t ) are seconds (B) f (t ) is positive and the units of f (t ) are cubic centimeters per second (C) f (t ) is negative and the units of f (t ) are cubic centimeters per second (D) (E) None of these Annual net sales, in billions of dollars, for a company producing chocolate is a function S = f (t ) of time, t, in years since 2000.Which of the following best describes the statement: f (3) = 0.16 in terms of chocolate sales? (A) In 2003, the company sold $160 million worth of chocolate. (B) Between 2000 and 2003, the company sold $160 million worth of chocolate. (C) In 2003, the companys sales of chocolate was increasing by $160 million worth of chocolate each year. (D) In 2003, the company increased production of chocolate by 160 million pounds per year. (E) None of these
