    Homework #3

    Important: Read the course outline on the guideline for submitting your solutions

    (
    2x + k if x < 3
    1. Find the constant k for which the function f (x) = is continuous.
    kx2 if x ≥ 3

    0√

     if x < −1
    2. Find the values of x, if any, at which f (x) = 1 − x2 if − 1 < x ≤ 1 is discontinuous.


    2x x>1
    Determine the type of each discontinuity.

    3. Show that −4x3 + 6x2 − 3x + 2 has at least one zero in the interval [1, 2].

    4. True or False? If f is continuous at for all x 6= 0 and f (0) = 0, then lim f (x) = 0.
    x→0

    5. True or False? If f is continuous on [−2, 3], f (−2) = 3, and f (3) = 1, then there exists at
    least one number c in [−2, 3] such that f (c) = 2.

    6. Using the limit definition of the derivative, find the slope of the line tangent to the graph of
    f (x) = −3x2 at any point.
    1
    7. Let f (x) = . Using the limit definition of the derivative, find f 0 (x) and the equation
    6x2 + 1
    1
    of the line tangent to the graph of f (x) at the point (3, 55 ).

    8. Using the limit definition of the derivative, show that f (x) = |x − 5| is not differentiable at
    x = 5.
    √
    9. Using the limit definition of the derivative, find the derivative of f (x) = 4 − 8x.
    √
    10. The cost (in dollars) of producing x units of a certain commodity is C(x) = 50 + x.

    (a) Find the average rate of change of C with respect to x when the production level is
    changed from x = 100 to x = 169.
    (b) Using the limit definition of the derivative, find the instantaneous rate of change of C
    with respect to x when x = 100 (Marginal cost when x = 100, is usually explained as
    the cost of producing an extra unit when your production level is 100).

    11. Suppose that an oil company’s revenue (in thousands of dollars) is given by the equation

    R = R(x) = 100x − x2 , x≥0

    where x is the number of thousands of barrels of oil sold each day.

    (a) Using the limit definition of the derivative, find the function that gives the marginal
    revenue at any value of x.

    (b) Find the marginal revenue when 20, 000 barrels are sold.
    (c) What is the amount of change revenue if the sale goes from 20, 000 barrels to 21, 000?

    √
    12. True or False? The average rate of change of f (x) = x over the interval [4, 16] happens to
    be equal to its (instantaneous) rate of change of at x = 9.
