Does a Limiting Value Occur? A rocket ship is flying away from Earth at a constant velocity, and it continues on its course indefinitely. Let D(t) denote its distance from Earth after t years of travel. Do you expect that D has a limiting value?
How are the absolute maximum and minimum similar to and different from the local extrema?
Just before a potential traffic accident one car is traveling at 128 km/h when the driver fully applies the brakes (so that he may avoid an accident) by producing a constant deceleration of 5 m/s2. You must find the distance traveled by the car before the car comes to a full stop. Equivalently, this is the distance from the place where the driver must hit the brakes, to the place where the car will fully stop right before/ at the potential traffic accident. find correct linear function for velocity, function of time t, with some constant, C, the intercept find correct value of the constant intercept C in part (a) find correct quadratic displacement function of time t find correct time until full stop of the car, and find correct distance
a. Find the function f given that the slope of the tangent line to the graph of f at any point (x,f(x)) is xe-2x and that the graph passes through the point (0,3). b. In keeping with the projected increase in worldwide demand for steam coal, the boilerfiring fuel used for generating electricity, the management of Consolidated Mining has decided to step up its mining operations. Plans call for increasing the yearly production of steam coal over its current level by: 2te-0.05t million metric tons/year for the next 20 years. The current yearly production is 20 million metric tons. Find a function that describes Consolidated’s total production of steam coal at the end of t years. How much coal will Consolidated have produced over the next 20 years if this plan is carried out?

Sodium chlorate crystals are easy to grow in the shape of cubes by allowing a solution of water and sodium chlorate to evaporate slowly. If V is the volume of such a cube with side length x, calculate the derivative when x = 5 mm. V'(5) = mm3/mm What does V'(5) mean in this situation? V'(5) represents the rate at which the volume is increasing with respect to the side length as V reaches 15 mm3.V'(5) represents the volume as the side length reaches 5 mm.
