3. Adam is at a lake, taking his dog for a walk. He throws a tennis ball from point A along the water s edge to point B in the water. His dog, Riley, first runs along the beach from point A to point D and then swims to fetch the ball at point B. (a) Riley s running speed is about 6.4 meters per second. Write a function, r(x), for the time he spends running from point A to point D. Riley s swimming speed is about 0.9 meters per second. Write a function, s(x), for the time he spends swimming from point D to point B. (b) Write a function, t(x), that represents the total time Riley spends traveling from point A to point D to point B. (c) Graph the function(x) from part (b). (d) Determine the value of x that minimizes the amount of time it takes for Riley to get the ball. Explain your solution.

4. You have 100 meters of fencing material to enclose a rectangular plot. Your goal is to determine the dimensions of the plot such that you enclose the maximum area possible. (a) Express the area, A(x), of the rectangular plot as a function of the length, x, of one side. (b) Analyze the problem numerically by completing the table x A(x) According to this table, what do you think the dimensions of the plot should be to enclose the maximum area? Explain.

Would you be able to use 100 meters of fencing to enclose a greater area? (g) Suppose the rectangular plot runs along a building so that you need to fence only three sides. What dimensions will now yield a maximum area with 100 meters of fencing? Explain your method of determining these dimensions.

Your average speed is: Average speed = Distance time = 700 12 58.3 miles per hour This concept can be generalized as follows. Let f be a function defined on the interval [a,b]. The average rate of change off from a to b is: This expression is called a difference quotient Average rate of change = f(b) f(a) b a (e) Calculate the average rate of change of f(x) = 3x + 4 on the interval [2,6]. Select any other interval and show that you obtain the same average rate of change. Explain why you obtain the same average rate of change.

Choose values of h that get closer and closer to 0. What value does the average rate of change of f approach as h approaches 0? IV. The answer to part (b) is the slope of the tangent line to the graph of f at point (1,f(1)). Graph this line and f on the same graph. Describe the behavior of the graphs near the point (1,f(1)).
7. (a) Use a graphing utility to graph the function f(x) = sinx. On a separate sheet of paper, plot your estimates of the slope of this curve at various x values. For instance the slope is approximately 1 at x = 0, 0.8 at x = 0.5 and 0 at x = 1.5. After you have plotted 15 or 20 points, connect them with a continuous curve. Do you recognize this curve? (b) The slope of the tangent line was given by the formula on page 828. The difference quotient f(x+h) f(x) will be a good approximation of the slope if h is small. If you select h = 0.01, you h have the following approximation for the slope of the sine curve at x. sin(x + 0.01) sinx m 0.01 Complete the table below, plot these points on a graph and then compare your results with part (a) x 0 0.5 1 1.5 2 2.5 3 3.5 4 m (c) To calculate the slope of the tangent line to f(x) = sinx algebraically, you need two trigonometric limits: sin (h) Limit 1: lim = 1 h 0 h 1 cos (h) Limit 2: lim = 0 h 0 h Use these limits to find a formula for the slope of the sine curve.
