A few Pre-Calc problems in my AP Calc summer packet
Hey guys, my teacher said we could get help from anywhere and I figured this would be a good place.
1. Let f(x) = 2x-3 [x less than or equal to 2] and x^2 + a [x greater than 2]
Sketch the curve and find the value of "a" so that lim f(x) as x->2 = 1. I guess just find the value of "a" :p
2. A piece of cardboard measures 20 by 35 inches. Two equal squaares are removed from the corners of a 20 inch side. Two equal rectangles are removed from the other corners so that the tabs can be folded to form a rectangular box with a lid.
a. Write the forumla v(x) for the volume of the box.
b. Fidn the domain of V for this problem. Express in interval notation (don't worry about end points)
c. Find the maximum volume and the value of x that gives it. Justify your work.
3. Find the solution(s) for the following system. Express your answer correctly to three decimal places (use your calculator).
f(x)= (1/4) + sin((pi)(x))
g(x)= 4^(-x)
4. Let W(t) =95sqrt(t)(sin^2)(t/6). Find W(7) and W(10). For what value of "t" is W(t)= 0?
Thanks.
