Question Use the first derivative test to find the location of all local extrema for the function given below. Enter an exact answer. If there is more than one local maxima or local minima, write each value of x separated by a comma. If a local maxima or local minima does not occur on the function, enter Ø in the appropriate box. 6 f(æ) = -8a + 4x Sorry, that's incorrect. Try again? • Local maxima occur at x = • Local minima occur at x =

Field Trip A class of fourth graders walks to a park on a field trip. The function y=f(t) graphed below gives their distance from school in ft t minutes after they left school. What is the average speed going to the park? How long was the class at the park? How far away is the park? Graph the function y=0.5f(t). How is the graph of the new function related to the graph of the original function? What is the average speed going to the new park? How far is the new park? Graph the function y=f(t10). How is the graph of the new function related to the graph of the original function? How does the field trip described by this function differ from the original trip?
Run from Slope and Rise Suppose that f is a linear function with slope 3.4 and that f(1)6. What value of x gives f(x)=0?
A store offers customers a 30% discount on the price x of selected items. Then, the store takes off an additional 15% at the cash register. Write a price function P(x) that computes the final price of the item in terms of the original price x. (Hint: Use function composition to find your answer.)
Arboriculture The growth of a red oak tree is approximated by the function G=0.003t3+0.137t2+0.458t0.839,2t34 where G is the height of the tree (in feet) and t is its age (in years). (a) Use a graphing utility to graph the function. (b) Estimate the age of the tree when it is growing most rapidly. This point is called the point of diminishing returns because the increase in size will be less with each additional year. (c) Using calculus, the point of diminishing returns can be found by finding the vertex of the parabola y=0.009t2+0.274t+0.458. Find the vertex of this parabola. (d) Compare your results from parts (b) and (c).
