- Each of Exercises 81–84 shows the graphs of the first and second derivatives of a function y = f(x). Copy the picture and add to it a sketch of the approximate graph of f, given that the graph passes through the point P.arrow_forwardIn Exercises 83–85, you will use a CAS to help find the absolute extrema of the given function over the specified closed interval. Per-form the following steps. a. Plot the function over the interval to see its general behavior there. b. Find the interior points where ƒ′ = 0. (In some exercises, you may have to use the numerical equation solver to ap-proximate a solution.) You may want to plot ƒ′ as well. c. Find the interior points where ƒ′ does not exist. d. Evaluate the function at all points found in parts (b) and (c) and at the endpoints of the interval. e. Find the function’s absolute extreme values on the interval and identify where they occur. 83. ƒ(x) = x4 - 8x2 + 4x + 2, [-20/25, 64/25] 84. ƒ(x) = -x4 + 4x3 - 4x + 1, [-3/4, 3] 85. ƒ(x) = x^(2/3)(3 - x), [-2, 2]arrow_forwardIn Exercises 181–184, determine whetherthe statement is true or false. If it is false, explain why or givean example that shows it is false. The slope of the function f (x) = cos bx at the origin is −b.arrow_forward
- In Exercises 25–30, give a formula for the extended function that iscontinuous at the indicated point.arrow_forwardWhich of the functions graphed in Exercises 1–6 are one-to-one, and which are not?arrow_forwardIn Exercises 51–54, graph the function ƒ to see whether it appears to have a continuous extension to the origin. If it does, use Trace and Zoom to find a good candidate for the extended function’s value at x = 0. If the function does not appear to have a continuous extension, can it be extended to be continuous at the origin from the right or from the left? If so, what do you think the extended function’s value(s) should be?arrow_forward
- In Exercises 1–6, solve for x.arrow_forwardIn Exercises 37–40, graph the function to see whether it appears to have a continuous extension to the given point a. If it does, use Trace and Zoom to find a good candidate for the extended function’s value at a. If the function does not appear to have a continuous extension, can it be extended to be continuous from the right or left? If so, what do you think the extended function’s value should be?arrow_forwardSuppose f and g are the piecewise-defined functions defined here. For each combination of functions in Exercises 51–56, (a) find its values at x = -1, x = 0, x = 1, x = 2, and x = 3, (b) sketch its graph, and (c) write the combination as a piecewise-defined function. f(x) = { (2x + 1, ifx 0 g(x) = { -x, if x 2 8(4): 51.

- In Exercises 63–65, find the domain and range of each composite function. Then graph the composition of the two functions on separate screens. Do the graphs make sense in each case? Give reasons for your answers. Comment on any differences you see. 63. a. y = tan-1 (tan x) b. y = tan (tan-1 x) 64. a. y = sin-1 (sin x) b. y = sin (sin-1 x) 65. a. y = cos-1 (cos x) b. y = cos (cos-1 x)arrow_forwardIn Exercises 87–88, use the graph of f(x) = |4 – x| to solve each equation or inequality. y flx) = |4 – x| y = 53- y = 1 $ 9 10 87. 14 - x| = 1 88. 14 - x| < 5arrow_forwardYour cardiac index is your heart's output, in liters of blood per minute, divided by your body's surface area, in square meters. The cardiac index, C(x), can be modeled by 7.644 C(x) = 10 s xs 80, where x is an individual's age, in years. The graph of the function is shown. Use the function to solve Exercises 95–96. 7.644 C(x) = %3D 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 Age 95. a. Find the cardiac index of a 32-year-old. Express the denominator in simplified radical form and reduce the fraction. b. Use the form of the answer in part (a) and a calculator to express the cardiac index to the nearest hundredth. Identify your solution as a point on the graph. 96. a. Find the cardiac index of an 80-year-old. Express the denominator in simplified radical form and reduce the fraction.
