Define Bounded Area Formula
Define A(x) to be the area bounded by the t-axis, the line y = 2t and a vertical line at t = x.
(a) Find a formula for A(x).
(b) Determine A'(x)
The figure below shows the graph of the derivative of a continuous function f .
(a) List the critical numbers of f .
(b) What values of x result in a local maximum?
(c) What values of x result in a local minimum?
Use information from the derivative of each function to help you graph the function. Find all local maximums and minimums of each function.
g(x)=2x^3-〖15x〗^2+6
In 4 and 5, a function and values of x so that f '(x) = 0 are given. Use the Second Derivative Test to determine whether each point (x, f (x)) is a local maximum, a local minimum or neither.
h(x)=x^4-8x^2-2; x=-2,0,2
f(x)=x∙In(x); x=1/e
Lest you have forgotten, the formulas you will need are as follows:
For a right circular cylinder of radius "r" and height "h":
The volume V = πr2h.
The surface area S = circular ends plus the cylindrical wall = 2πr2 + 2πrh.
You have been asked to design a one-liter (i.e., 1000 cm3) can shaped like a right circular cylinder (figure below). What dimensions will use the least material?
So the question is: What should "r" be and what should "h" be such that the volume is 1 liter but the surface area is least?

(b) What values of x result in a local maximum?
(c) What values of x result in a local minimum?
Solution:
(a)
Critical numbers are x = 2, 7
(b)

(c)
Function has local minimum at x = 2.
3. Use information from the derivative of each function to help you graph the function. Find all local maximums and minimums of each function.
Solution:
To find critical points, put g'(x) = 0
Critical points are x = 0, 5
Since g"(0) < 0 ...
