Q 9 (a)
Consider a differen,able func,on f(x) for which we want to es,mate f(2). Suppose that we found out that f(1) = 1, fʹ′(1) = 1/2. Es,mate f(2) using this informa,on.
UBC Math 102
Q 9 (b)
We subsequently discovered that f(3) = 3 and fʹ′(3) = 2, and that f is concave up. Use this new informa,on to get another es,mate for f(2).

Q 11 It is well known to ecologists that diversity of species is greatest close to the equator (la,tude 0) and much lower near the North and South poles (la,tudes ±90 degrees). Shown below are two graphs of the number of species (N(x)) versus la,tude (x) at two geological ages, 300 and 270 million years ago. On the axes provided, sketch the deriva,ves of each of these two func,ons.

How do I know that the inflec,on points of f(x) are cri,cal points of f’(x)? See: Assignment5: Problem 14 “At what value(s) of x on the curve y=7+160x3−3x5 does the tangent line have the largest slope?” See Video link [23] on concavity and inflec,on pts.

Q 12 There is a circular pool in the centre of a square courtyard. Lucas’ father (F) stands in the corner of the courtyard. Lucas (L) starts on the edge of the pool at the point closest to his father and walks once around the edge of the pool at a constant speed. It takes Lucas two minutes to go around the pool.
UBC Math 102
Q 12 (a) Sketch the graph of the distance between Lucas and his father as a func,on of ,me. Do not try to write down an equa,on for the distance -‐ just make an approximate sketch based on the diagram with a focus on gesng key features (minima, maxima) correct.
Q 12 (b) If your graph has any minima, maxima and/or inflec,on points, explain which points on the edge of the pool correspond to each of these special points and label them on your graph and on the diagram with the lePers A, B, C
