Pictured above is the graph of f', the first derivative of a twice differentiable function, /(x), on the interval O <* < 10 such that (2) = 8.843. The equation of f'is defined by f°(x) = 4xe-x/3) sin(x). Answer the questions that follow. d. Approximate the value of (2.4) using the equation of the tangent line drawn to the graph of fat × = 2. Is this approximation an over or under approximation of the actual value of /(2.4). Give a reason for your answer.

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?
In an effort to make the distribution of income more nearly equal, the government of a country passes a tax law that changes the Lorenz curve from y = 0.97x2.1 for one year to y = 0.35x2 + 0.65x for the next year. Find the Gini coefficient of income for both years. (Round your answers to three decimal places.) before after
The U.S. Bureau of the Census prediction for the percentage of the population 65 years and older can be modeled as p(x) = −0.00022x3 + 0.014x2 − 0.0033x + 12.236 percent where x is the number of years since 2000, data from 0 ≤ x ≤ 50. 1. Determine the value of x in the domain 0 ≤ x ≤ 50 for which the percentage is predicted to be increasing most rapidly (Round your answer to three decimal places). 2. Thus, in which year is the percentage is predicted to be increasing most rapidly? 3. Calculate the percentage at that time. (Round your answer to two decimal places.) 4. Calculate the rate of change of the percentage at that time. (Round your answer to three decimal places.)
The analysis of tooth shrinkage by C. Loring Brace and colleagues at the University of Michigan’s Museum of Anthropology indicates that human tooth size is con-tinuing to decrease and that the evolutionary process has not yet come to a halt. In northern Europeans, for example, tooth size reduction now has a rate of 1% per 1000 years. a. If t represents time in years and y represents tooth size, use the condition that y = 0.99y0 when t = 1000 to find the value of k in the equation y = y0 ekt. Then use this value of k to answer the following questions. b. In about how many years will human teeth be 90% of their present size? c. What will be our descendants’ tooth size 20,000 years from now (as a percentage of our present tooth size)?

The quoted futures price corresponds to a forward rate of 8% per annum with quarterly compounding and actual/360. The parameters for Black’s model are therefore:Fk = 0.08, K=0.08, R=0.075, tk=0.75, SDk=0.15and P(0,tk+1)=e-0.075x1=0.9277 . Use these information to estimate the call price.
You have been hired by Kia as manager for its Pakistan operations. Assume following is the short-run production function at their assembly plant outside Karachi: Q = 10L2 – 0.5 L3 where L is variable input labor, Q is output of Cars assembled a. Find the ranges of the three stages of production. b. Demonstrate the relationship between Total Production, Marginal Product and AverageProduct in a hypothetical graph and clearly label the three stages as per the values of Lyou observed in (a) above c. At the end of the year it is expected that output will double with purchase ofnew equipment and machinery. The production function is estimated to be Q = 60L.30K.70 where L is labor and K is capital. Suppose initial L1 = 1 and K1 = 1. When inputs are in increased to L2 = 2 and K2 = 2, do you observe increasing, decreasing or constant returns to scale? d.
