Find the limit of 2x(x-2)/x-2 as x is 2

x^ 2 y^ " - 2xy'-4y=x^ 2 +2 log x


Determine the critical numbers of the given function and classify each critical point

as a relative maximum, a relative minimum, or neither.

ff(tt) = tt2

tt2 + tt − 2 .


TISSUE GROWTH Suppose a particular tissue culture has area AA(tt) at time tt and a

potential maximum area MM. Based on properties of cell division, it is reasonable to assume that

the area AA grows at a rate jointly proportional to �AA(tt) and MM − AA(tt); that is


dddd

dddd = kk�AA(tt) [MM − AA(tt)]


where kk is a positive constant.

a. Let RR(tt) = AA′


(tt) be the rate of tissue growth. Show that RR′


(tt) = 0 when AA(tt) = MM/3.

b. Is the rate of tissue growth greatest or least when AA(tt) = MM/3? [Hint: Use the first

derivative test or second derivative test.]

c. Based on the given information and what you discovered in part (a), what can you say

about the graph of AA(tt)?


The derivative of a differentiable function ff(xx) is given as


ff′

(xx) = xx + 3

(xx − 2)2 .

a. Find intervals of increase and decrease for ff(xx).

b. Determine values of xx for which relative maxima and minima occurs on the graph of

ff(xx).

c. Find ff′′(xx) and determine intervals of concavity for the graph of ff(xx).

d. For what values of xx do inflection points occur on the graph of ff(xx).
