The cost C (in millions of dollars) of removing x percent of the pollutants emitted from the smokestack of a factory can be
modeled by
C=
4x
.
100 x
(a) What is the implied domain of C? (Enter your answer using interval notation.)
Explain your reasoning.

You cannot remove 0% of the pollutants.
It would be cost prohibitive to remove more than 80% of the pollutants.
Since we are removing pollutants, only negative x-values make sense in this context.
Negative x-values and values greater than 100 do not make sense in this context. Also, C(100) is undefined.
The function is defined for all x-values except x = 100.
(b) Use a graphing utility to graph the cost function. Is the function continuous on its domain? Explain your reasoning.
C is not continuous on its domain because C has a removable discontinuity at x = 4.
C is continuous on its domain because C is a polynomial.
C is continuous on its domain because all rational functions are continuous on their domains.
C is not continuous on its domain because C has a nonremovable discontinuity at x = 4.
C is not continuous on its domain because C is not a polynomial.
(c) Find the cost of removing 75% of the pollutants from the smokestack.

The gestation period of rabbits is about 29 to 35 days. Therefore, the population of a form (rabbits' home) can increase
dramatically in a short period of time. The table gives the population of a form, where t is the time in months and N is the rabbit
population.
t
Graph the population as a function of time.

Find any points of discontinuity in the function. (Enter your answers as a comma-separated list. If an answer does not exist, enter
DNE.)
t=

There are removable discontinuities at those values of t.
There are nonremovable discontinuities at those values of t.
The function is continuous for all values of t.

Two long distance runners starting out side by side begin a 10,000-meter run. Their distances are given by s = f(t) and
s = g(t), where s is measured in thousands of meters and t is measured in minutes.
(a) Which runner is running faster at t1?

At t1, the runner given by f is running faster.
At t1, the runner given by g is running faster.
(b) What conclusion can you make regarding their rates at t2?
At t2, the runner given by
is running faster. The runner given by
has traveled farther.
(c) What conclusion can you make regarding their rates at t3?
At t3, the runner given by f has traveled farther. The runner given by f is running faster.
At t3, the runner given by f has traveled farther. The runner given by g is running faster.
At t3, the runners are at the same location. The runner given by g is running faster.
At t3, the runner given by g has traveled farther. The runner given by g is running faster.
At t3, the runners are at the same location. The runner given by f is running faster.
(d) Which runner finishes the race first? Explain.

The runner given by
will finish first because that runner finishes the distance at a

The graph shows the estimated number of milligrams of a pain medication M in the bloodstream t hours after a 1000-milligram
dose of the drug has been given.
(a) Estimate the one-hour interval over which the absolute value of the average rate of change is the least. (Enter your
answer using interval notation.)
(b) Over what interval is the average rate of change approximately equal to the rate of change at t = 4? Explain your
reasoning.
Both the instantaneous rate of change at t = 4 and the average rate of change on [2, 5] is about zero.
Both the instantaneous rate of change at t = 4 and the average rate of change on [1, 6] is about two hundred.
