1. Consider the cubic function f ( x ) = ax^3 + bx^2 + cx + d where a ≠ 0. Show that f can have zero, one, or two critical numbers and give an example of each case.
2. Use Rolle's Theorem to prove that if f ′ ( x ) = 0 for all xin an interval ( a , b ), then f is constant on ( a , b ).
3.True or False. The product of two increasing functions is increasing. Clarify your answer.
4. Find the point on the graph of f ( x ) = 4 − x 2 that is closest to the point ( 0 , 1 ).
