    Some partial questions from 2010 and 2011 College Board Examinations:
    these questions should be done without a calculator.
    1. Consider a differentiable function f having domain all positive real numbers, and for which
    it is known that  ′   4    for x > 0.

    (a) Find the x-coordinate of the critical point of f. Determine whether the point is a relative
    maximum, a relative minimum, or neither for the function f. Justify your answer.

    (b) Find all intervals on which the graph of f is concave down. Justify your answer.

    2. Two particles move along the x-axis. For 0 ≤ t ≤ 6,


    the position of particle P at time t is given by:   2cos   .
    while the position of particle R at time t is given by: !     6   9  3

    (a) For 0 ≤ t ≤ 6, find all times t during which particle R is moving to the right.

    (b) For 0 ≤ t ≤ 6, find all times t during which the two particles travel in opposite directions

    (c) Find the acceleration of particle P at time t = 3. Is particle P speeding up, slowing down,
    or doing neither at time t = 3 ? Explain your reasoning.
