4. This problem is about some function. All we know about the function is that it exists everywhere and we also know the information given below about the derivative of the function. Answer each of the following questions about this function. Be sure to justify your answers. f ′(−5) = 0 f ′(−2) = 0 f ′(4) = 0 f ′(8) = 0 f ′(x) < 0 on (−5,−2), (−2,4), (8,∞) f ′(x) > 0 on (−∞,−5), (4,8)
a. Identify the critical points of the function.
b. Determine the intervals on which the function increases and decreases.
c. Classify the critical points as relative maximums, relative minimums or neither.

a) Determine whether the given differential equation is exact. If it is exact, solve it. (If it is not exact, enter NOT.)
(2xy2 − 5) dx + (2x2y + 4) dy = 0
b) Solve the given differential equation by finding, as in Example 4 of Section 2.4, an appropriate integrating factor.
(6 − 20y + e−5x) dx − 4 dy = 0

Show that the cylinder x 2 + y 2 = 4 and the sphere x 2 + y 2 + z 2 − 8y − 6z + 21 = 0 are tangent at the point (0, 2, 3). That is, show that the cylinder and sphere intersect at that point, and that they share the same tangent plane at that point.

1. Given the function M(t) = 2t3 - 3t2 - 36t, find the critical
values and determine, using both the second derivative test and a
sign chart, the nature of these values.
2. A projectile is launched with a velocity of 22 m/s at 50° to the
ground. Determine its horizontal and vertical velocities.
3. Two trains start from the same point at the same time, one going
east at a rate of 40 km/h and the other going south at 60 km/h, as
shown in the diagram at right. Find the rate at which they are
separating after 1 h of travel.
4. A professional basketball team plays in a stadium that holds
23,000 spectators. With ticket prices at $60, the average
attendance had been 18,000. When ticket prices were lowered to $55,
the average attendance rose to 20,000. Based on this pattern, how
should ticket prices be set to maximize ticket revenue?
5. Corey is asked to find the maximum value of a function. Not
having a complete understanding of the process, Corey decides to
find the derivative of the function, set it equal to zero, and
solve. The resulting value, Corey reasons, will yield the maximum
point. Explain fully why Corey's method is flawed.
6. A 5,000 m_ rectangular area of a field is to be enclosed by a
fence, with a moveable inner fence built across the narrow part of
the field, as shown.The perimeter fence costs $10/m and the inner
fence costs $4/m. Determine the dimensions of the field to minimize
the cost.
7. The following table displays the number of HIV diagnoses per
year in a particular country.
Year 1997 1998 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005
Diagnoses 2512 2343 2230 2113 2178 2495 2496 2538 2518
a. Using Curve Expert or another curve modelling program, determine
an equation that can be used to model this data.
b. Using this model, estimate the number of diagnoses in 1996 and
in 2006.
c. At what rate would the number of diagnoses be changing in
2006?
d. Halfway through 2006, the number of new HIV diagnoses was found
to be 1232. Assuming this rate stays fairly constant for the
remainder of the year, does this new information change the
modelling equation? If so, how would this change your answer to
part (c)? If you were an advocate for furthering HIV and AIDS
research and treatment programs, would you be encouraged or
discouraged by these results?

a virus is spreading on a small deserted island. The total number of people infected by the virus t days after the outbreak is given by the model p(t)=5200/(1+20^(-t+15)).
the different parts can be solved independently.
a. How many people will be infected in the long run? (hint: compute the limit of p as t goes too infinity.)
b. The island only has a small hospital with a capacity of 250 patients. When will the total number of infections reach 250?
c. After how many days does the rate of new infections reach a maximum? Justify your answer carefully using calculus. Approximately how many people will be newly infected on that day?
