CHAPTER 1
Functions EXERCISE SET 1.1 1. (a) around 1943 (b) 1960; 4200 (c) no; you need the year’s population (d) war; marketing techniques (e) news of health risk; social pressure, antismoking campaigns, increased taxation 2. (a) 1989; $35,600 (b) 1975, 1983; $32,000 (c) the first two years; the curve is steeper (downhill) 3. (a) −2.9, −2.0, 2.35, 2.9 (d) −1.75 ≤ x ≤ 2.15
(b) none (c) y = 0 (e) ymax = 2.8 at x = −2.6; ymin = −2.2 at x = 1.2
4. (a) x = −1, 4 (d) x = 0, 3, 5
(b) none (c) y = −1 (e) ymax = 9 at x = 6; ymin = −2 at x = 0
5. (a) x = 2, 4
(b) none
(c) x ≤ 2; 4 ≤ x
(d) ymin = −1; no maximum value
6. (a) x = 9
(b) none
(c) x ≥ 25
(d) ymin = 1; no maximum value
7. (a) Breaks could be caused by war, pestilence, flood, earthquakes, for example. (b) C decreases for eight hours, takes a jump upwards, and then repeats. 8. (a) Yes, if the thermometer is not near a window or door or other source of sudden temperature change. (b) No; the number is always an integer, so the changes are in movements (jumps) of at least one unit. 9. (a) The side adjacent to the building has length x, so L = x + 2y. Since A = xy = 1000, L = x + 2000/x. (b) x > 0 and x must be smaller than the width of the building, which was not given. (c)
(d) Lmin ≈ 89.44 ft

10. (a) V = lwh = (6 − 2x)(6 − 2x)x (c)
(b) From the figure it is clear that 0 < x < 3. (d) Vmax ≈ 16 in3
