a) y ' =cos x and y '' =sin x sin x+ sin x =0 . Not a solution.

9. a) 0< P< 4200 .

b) P>4200 (the population cant be negative).

c) P=4200 and P=0 .

11. a) It cant be a solution because it has negative slope in some intervals,

'
and y is always positive.

b) It cant be a solution because it has positive slope at y=1 , where the

slope must be flat.

12. It cant be B because when x=0 the slope must be positive. It cant

be A either because the graph is flat at some positive values of x and

y , which cant happen in A. So it must be C.

15. b) When P=M , the function stops increasing, and as P M the

population grows
