The critical value of a function f is an
interior value c of its domain at which the
tangent to the graph is horizontal ๏จ f ‘ ๏จc ๏ฉ ๏ฝ 0๏ฉ or
the tangent is vertical ๏จ f ‘ ๏จc ๏ฉ does not exist ๏ฉ .
The critical values for this graph are
x1 , x3 , x4 , x5 , x6 , x7 , x8 , x10 .
86.
The function is increasing on intervals
๏จa, b๏ฉ and ๏จc, d ๏ฉ . A line tangent to the curve at
any point on either of these intervals has a
positive slope. Thus, the function is increasing
on the intervals for which the first derivative is
positive. Similarly, we see that on the intervals
๏จb, c๏ฉ and ๏จd , e๏ฉ the function is decreasing. A
line tangent to the curve at any point on either
of these intervals has a negative slope. Thus, the
function is decreasing on the intervals for which
first derivative is negative.

calculator returns a domain error. Therefore,
the cubic regression fits best.

a) The cubic function fits best. In fact some
calculators will return an error message
when an attempt is made to fit a quartic
function to the data.
b) The domain of the function is the set of
nonnegative real numbers. Realistically,
there would be some upper limit upon daily
caloric intake.
c) The cubic regression model does not appears
to have a relative extrema. The greater the
daily caloric intake, the lower the infant
mortality.
b) Answers will vary. When the equations are
somewhat complex, the best way to
determine a viewing window is to use the
table screen on the calculator and observing
appropriate y-values for selected x-values.
You will need to set your table to accept
selected x-values. Enter the table set up
feature on your calculator and turn on the
ask feature for your independent variable.
This will allow you to enter an x-value and
the calculator will return the y-value. You
should make your ranges large enough so
that all the data points will be easily viewed
in the window.
111.
a) Answers will vary. In Exercises 1-16 the
function is given in equation form. The most
accurate way to select an appropriate
viewing window, one should first determine
the domain, because that will help determine
the x-range. For polynomials the domain is
all real numbers, so we will typically select
a x-range that is symmetric about 0. Next,
you should find the critical values and make
sure that your x-range contains them.
Finally, you should determine the xintercepts and make sure the x-range
includes them. To find the y-range, you
should find the y-values of the critical points
and make sure the y-range includes those
values. You should also make sure that the
y-range includes the y-intercept.
To avoid the calculations required to find
the relative extrema and the zeros as
described above, we can determine a good
window by using the table screen on the
calculator and observing the appropriate yvalues for selected x-values.

If we use the points 1 and 3 to divide the real
number line into three intervals,
๏จ๏ญ๏ฅ,1๏ฉ , ๏จ1,3๏ฉ , and ๏จ3, ๏ฅ๏ฉ . Using the
extrema, we know f ๏จ x ๏ฉ is increasing on the
intervals ๏จ ๏ญ๏ฅ ,1๏ฉ and ๏จ 3, ๏ฅ ๏ฉ , and f ๏จ x ๏ฉ is
decreasing on the interval ๏จ1, 3๏ฉ .
d) Find the points of inflection. f ” ๏จ x ๏ฉ exists
for all real numbers. Solve

Thus, the point ๏จ 2, 3๏ฉ on the graph is a
possible inflection point.
e) To determine concavity, we use 2 to divide
the real number line into two intervals,
A: ๏จ ๏ญ๏ฅ, 2 ๏ฉ and B: ๏จ 2, ๏ฅ ๏ฉ . Then test a point
in each interval.
A: Test 0, f ” ๏จ 0๏ฉ ๏ฝ 6 ๏จ0 ๏ฉ ๏ญ 12 ๏ฝ ๏ญ12 ๏ผ 0
B: Test 3, f ” ๏จ 3๏ฉ ๏ฝ 6 ๏จ 3๏ฉ ๏ญ 12 ๏ฝ 6 ๏พ 0
Thus, f ๏จ x ๏ฉ is concave down on the interval
๏จ ๏ญ๏ฅ, 2 ๏ฉ and concave up on the interval
๏จ 2, ๏ฅ ๏ฉ and ๏จ 2, 3๏ฉ is an inflection point.
f) We sketch the graph. Additional points may

d) Find the points of inflection. f ” ๏จ x ๏ฉ does not

Therefore, ๏จ 0, 0 ๏ฉ is a possible inflection point on

To determine concavity, we use 0 to divide the

The rate of change is maximized at the

estimate the points of inflection to be 75 days
after January first, and 270 days after January
first. Therefore, the number of hours of daylight
are increasing most rapidly approximately 75
days after January 1st or approximately March

a) The cubic and quartic functions appear to be
equally good fits. The cubic function will
ease the computations, where as the quartic
function will be a little better fit to the data.
Also they quartic function declines sharply
after 2011 so the cubic function is probably
a better fit.
b) The domain of is the set of non-negative real
numbers.
c) The graphs show that the cubic function
does not have relative extrema on a
reasonable domain. The quartic function has
a relative maximum around x ๏ฝ 10.3 .

a) Intercepts. Since the numerator is the

number 0 is not in the domain of the
function, so there are no y-intercepts.
b) Asymptotes.
Vertical. The denominator is 0 for x ๏ฝ 0 , so
the line x ๏ฝ 0 is a vertical asymptote.
Horizontal. The degree of the numerator is
less than the degree of the denominator, so
y ๏ฝ 0 is the horizontal asymptote.
Slant. There is no slant asymptote since the

Vertical. The denominator is 0 for x ๏ฝ ๏ญ2 ,
so the line x ๏ฝ ๏ญ2 is a vertical asymptote.
Horizontal. The numerator and the

Slant. There is no slant asymptote since the
degree of the numerator is not one more than
the degree of the denominator.
but because ๏ญ2 is not in the domain of the
function, there cannot be an inflection point
at ๏ญ2 . The equation f ” ๏จ x ๏ฉ ๏ฝ 0 has no
solution; therefore, there are no inflection
points.
g) Concavity. We use ๏ญ2 to divide the real
number line into two intervals

but because 3 is not in the domain of the

A: ๏จ ๏ญ๏ฅ, ๏ญ1๏ฉ and B: ๏จ ๏ญ1, ๏ฅ ๏ฉ , and we test a

A: Test ๏ญ 2, f ” ๏จ ๏ญ2 ๏ฉ ๏ฝ 6 ๏พ 0

Therefore, f ๏จ x ๏ฉ is concave up on ๏จ ๏ญ๏ฅ , ๏ญ1๏ฉ

As x approaches ๏ฅ , f ๏จ x ๏ฉ approaches

The domain of f is ๏จ ๏ญ๏ฅ, ๏ญ1๏ฉ ๏ ๏จ ๏ญ1, ๏ฅ ๏ฉ as

d) Critical Points. f ‘ ๏จ x ๏ฉ exists for all values of

b) Asymptotes.
Vertical. The denominator is 0 for x ๏ฝ ๏ญ1 , so
the line x ๏ฝ ๏ญ1 is a vertical asymptote.

We use ๏ญ1 to divide the real number line

A: ๏จ ๏ญ๏ฅ, ๏ญ1๏ฉ and B: ๏จ ๏ญ1, ๏ฅ ๏ฉ
We test a point in each interval.
A: Test ๏ญ 2, f ‘ ๏จ ๏ญ2 ๏ฉ ๏ฝ 9 ๏พ 0
B: Test

Then f ๏จ x ๏ฉ is increasing on both intervals.
Since there are no critical points, there are
no relative extrema.
f) Inflection points. f ” ๏จ x ๏ฉ does not exist at ๏ญ1 ,
but because ๏ญ1 is not in the domain of the
function, there cannot be an inflection point
at ๏ญ1 . The equation f ” ๏จ x ๏ฉ ๏ฝ 0 has no

g) Concavity. We use ๏ญ1 to divide the real

A: ๏จ ๏ญ๏ฅ, ๏ญ1๏ฉ and B: ๏จ ๏ญ1, ๏ฅ ๏ฉ , and we test a

f) Inflection points. f ” ๏จ x ๏ฉ does not exist at ๏ญ3 ,

a) Intercepts. f ๏จ x ๏ฉ ๏ฝ 0 has no solution. x ๏ฝ 3

b) Asymptotes.
Vertical. In the original function, the

Because the limit exists, the line x ๏ฝ 3 is not

The denominator is 0 for x ๏ฝ ๏ญ5 and the
numerator is not 0 at this value, so the line
x ๏ฝ ๏ญ5 is a vertical asymptote.
Horizontal. The degree of the numerator is
less than the degree of the denominator, so
y ๏ฝ 0 is the horizontal asymptote.
Slant. There is no slant asymptote since the

the degree of the denominator.

The equation f ‘ ๏จ x ๏ฉ ๏ฝ 0 has no solution, so
there are no critical points.

We use ๏ญ5 and 3 to divide the real number
line into three intervals A: ๏จ ๏ญ๏ฅ , ๏ญ5๏ฉ ,
B: ๏จ ๏ญ5, 3๏ฉ , and C: ๏จ 3, ๏ฅ ๏ฉ . We notice that
f ‘ ๏จ x ๏ฉ ๏ผ 0 for all real numbers, f ๏จ x ๏ฉ is
decreasing on all three intervals
๏จ ๏ญ๏ฅ, ๏ญ5๏ฉ , ๏จ ๏ญ5, 3๏ฉ , and ๏จ3, ๏ฅ ๏ฉ . Since there
are no critical points, there are no relative
extrema.
f) Inflection points. f ” ๏จ x ๏ฉ does not exist at ๏ญ5 ,
but because ๏ญ5 is not in the domain of the

d) Critical Points. f ‘ ๏จ x ๏ฉ exists for all values of

The equation f ‘ ๏จ x ๏ฉ ๏ฝ 0 has no solution, so

We use ๏ญ1 and 1 to divide the real number
line into three intervals
A: ๏จ ๏ญ๏ฅ, ๏ญ1๏ฉ B: ๏จ ๏ญ1,1๏ฉ and C: ๏จ1, ๏ฅ ๏ฉ .

there are no critical points, there are no
relative extrema.
but because ๏ญ1 is not in the domain of the
function, there cannot be an inflection point
at ๏ญ1 . The equation f ” ๏จ x ๏ฉ ๏ฝ 0 has no
solution; therefore, there are no inflection
points.
g) Concavity. We use ๏ญ1 and 1 to divide the

Therefore, ๏จ 0, ๏ญ1๏ฉ is a relative maximum.
f) Inflection points. f ” ๏จ x ๏ฉ does not exist at
๏ญ1 and 1 , but because these values are not
in the domain of the function, there cannot
be an inflection point at ๏ญ1 or 1 . The
equation f ” ๏จ x ๏ฉ ๏ฝ 0 has no real solution;
therefore, there are no inflection points.

b) Asymptotes.
Vertical. The denominator is 0 for x ๏ฝ 0 , so
the line x ๏ฝ 0 is a vertical asymptote.
Horizontal. The degree of the numerator is

f) Inflection points. f ” ๏จ x ๏ฉ does not exist at 0,
but because 0 is not in the domain of the

f ๏จ 0 ๏ฉ ๏ฝ 0 , so the y-intercept is ๏จ 0, 0 ๏ฉ also.
b) Vertical. The denominator

The limit exists; therefore, the line x ๏ฝ 3 is
not a vertical asymptote. Instead, we have a
removable discontinuity, or a โholeโ at the
point ๏จ 3, 6 ๏ฉ . An open circle is drawn at this
point to show that it is not part of the graph.
c) Derivatives and Domain.

Note: In the preceding problem, we could
have noticed that the graph of

f ๏จ x๏ฉ ๏ฝ
x๏ซ4
with the exception of the point ๏จ๏ญ4, ๏ญ8๏ฉ
which is a removable discontinuity. We
simply need to graph f ๏จ x ๏ฉ ๏ฝ x ๏ญ 4 with a
hole at the point ๏จ๏ญ4, ๏ญ8๏ฉ and determine all
other aspects of the graph of f ๏จ x ๏ฉ from the
linear graph.

Note that the domain is restricted to all real
numbers except for x ๏ฝ 3.
a) Intercepts. The numerator is 0 when x ๏ฝ ๏ญ3
or x ๏ฝ 3 however, x ๏ฝ 3 is not in the
domain of f ๏จ x ๏ฉ , so the x-intercept is
f ๏จx๏ฉ ๏ฝ
determined in part (b).
d) Critical Points. f ‘ ๏จ x ๏ฉ exists for all values of
x except 3, but 3 is not in the domain of the
function, so x ๏ฝ 3 is not a critical value. The
equation f ‘ ๏จ x ๏ฉ ๏ฝ 0 has no solution, so there
are no critical points.
e) Increasing, decreasing, relative extrema.
We use 3 to divide the real number line into
two intervals A: ๏จ ๏ญ๏ฅ, 3๏ฉ and B: ๏จ3, ๏ฅ ๏ฉ .
We notice that f ‘ ๏จ x ๏ฉ ๏พ 0 for all real
numbers in the domain. f ๏จ x ๏ฉ is increasing
on both intervals. Since there are no critical
points, there are no relative extrema.
f) Inflection points. f ” ๏จ x ๏ฉ is constant;
therefore, there are no points of inflection.
g) Concavity. f ” ๏จ x ๏ฉ is 0; therefore, there is no
concavity.

A ” ๏จ x ๏ฉ ๏ฝ 3 exists for all values of t in
x

solution, so there are no possible points of
inflection. Furthermore, A ” ๏จ x ๏ฉ ๏พ 0 for all x
in the domain, so A ๏จ x ๏ฉ is concave up on
๏จ0, ๏ฅ ๏ฉ .
We use this information to sketch the graph.
Additional values may be computed as

Thus, they cannot be part of the graph.

In finding the absolute extrema of a
function, the second derivative is used when
there is exactly one critical value interior to an
interval. If there is exactly one critical value, the
second derivative will determine the concavity

determine if there is an absolute maximum or

The first derivative is used to find the critical
values of the function on an interval. For closed
intervals, we know that absolute extrema occur
at a critical value in the interval, or at an
endpoint of the interval. For open intervals,
absolute extrema, if they exists, will occur at a
critical value in the interval.

Since the rancher has 240 yards of fence, the

Since the life guard has 180 yd of rope and

The objective is to maximize area, which is

We will maximize the area over the interval

and cannot be negative. We find the derivative:
A ‘ ๏จ y ๏ฉ ๏ฝ 180 ๏ญ 4 y .
This derivative exists for all values of y in

y ๏ฝ 45
There is one critical value on the interval.
A ” ๏จ y ๏ฉ ๏ฝ ๏ญ4 ๏ผ 0 for all values of y, so a

b) Let x represent the width and y represent the

With 600 ft of fencing, the perimeter of the

we find the area as a function of x.
A ๏จ x ๏ฉ ๏ฝ xy ๏ฝ x ๏จ600 ๏ญ 4 x ๏ฉ ๏ฝ 600 x ๏ญ 4 x 2 .
Therefore,

This derivative exists for all values of x.
Solve:

We want to maximize the area on the interval

the length of the rectangle and cannot be
negative.
Since the perimeter cannot exceed 42 feet, x
cannot be greater than 21, also if x is 21 feet, the
width of the rectangle would be 0 feet. We
begin by finding A ‘ ๏จ x ๏ฉ .
A ‘ ๏จ x ๏ฉ ๏ฝ 21 ๏ญ 2 x .
This derivative exists for all values of x in

The surface area of the open-top, square-based,

The pigeon should reach land about 8 ๏ญ 3.755

117. The objective is to maximize the parallel areas
subject to the constraint of having k units of
fencing. Using the figure in the book, we can let
x equal the length of the two parallel sides and y
equal the length of the three parallel sides. Since
the two areas are the identical, we can either
maximize the area of one of the smaller areas or
maximize the area of the entire field. That is, we
can either maximize
A1 ๏ฝ x ๏ y or A2 ๏ฝ 2 x ๏ y.
First we will maximize A1. The perimeter of the
fields is given by P ๏ฝ 4 x ๏ซ 3 y . Since we have k
units of fencing, we know that
4 x ๏ซ 3 y ๏ฝ k.
Solve for y and substitute into the area function
to get the area as a function of one variable.

We would expect the rate of change of

All things being equal, it is reasonable to
assume as the price of a good or service
increases, the supply for that good or service

We see that the additional monthly output
per years of service decreases each year the
employee is with the company.
d)
The employees marginal productivity is
at its highest point when the employee is
new to the company. The employee is still
learning how to do the job and will make the
greatest gains. As the employee gains
experience, the marginal productivity begins
to decrease. The employee is still being
more productive each month, but just
doesnโt increase total output as much as the
previous monthโs increase. Eventually, age
catches up to the employee and they cannot
produce the output they once did. Marginal
productivity becomes negative as total
output starts to fall.

Yes, the taxation in 2014 was progressive.
The 25,001st dollar is taxed at a rate of 15%, the
80,001st dollar is taxed at a rate of 25%, and the
140,001st dollar is taxed at a rate of 33%.
24. Marcyโs marginal tax rate is 28%, while Tyrone
marginal tax rate is also 28%. However, an
increase in $5000 will push Tyrone into the next
tax bracket putting his marginal tax at
33%.Therefore, since Marcy is in a lower
marginal tax bracket, she will keep more of the
$5000 after taxes.
25. Alanโs marginal tax rate is currently 25%. If he
earns another $10,000, dollars, this will push
him into the 28% tax bracket and he will pay
about $0.28 per dollar earned in taxes.

26. The marginal tax rate at $50,000 is 25%. By
earning an extra $3000 it will not push her out
of the 25% tax bracket. Therefore, her tax
liability will not grow if she takes the extra
work.

Answers will vary. Calculus in its present
form was essentially developed independently
in the 17th century by Isaac Newton and
Gottfried Wilhelm von Leibniz. During the 18th
century calculus was challenged by some
philosophers and religious leaders who argued
that the infinitely small quantities represented
by differentials were meaningless. These critics
were silenced when the concept of โlimitโ was
introduced. In it, a differential was not thought
of as an infinitely small quantity; rather, a
derivative was considered to be the limit
approached by two differentials as each
becomes infinitely small.

For a function y ๏ฝ f ๏จ x ๏ฉ , the differential, dy,

oil was $100.83 per barrel. Thus according
to this model, by increasing the price, oil
producers could increase revenue.

When the price of sunglass cases is $9 a
case, revenue will be maximized.
d)
A 20% increase in the price would
increase the price from $8 a case to $9.60 a
case.
At $8 a case, demand is:
q ๏ฝ D ๏จ8๏ฉ ๏ฝ 180 ๏ญ 10 ๏จ8๏ฉ ๏ฝ 100 cases.
Therefore revenue is price times quantity or
R ๏ฝ p ๏ q ๏ฝ $8 ๏100 ๏ฝ $800.
At $9.60 a case, demand is:
q ๏ฝ D ๏จ9.60๏ฉ ๏ฝ 180 ๏ญ 10 ๏จ9.60๏ฉ ๏ฝ 84 cases.
Therefore revenue is price times quantity or
R ๏ฝ p ๏ q ๏ฝ $9.60 ๏ 84 ๏ฝ $806.40. Therefore,
revenue will increase if Tipton Industries
raises the price 20%.
We know increasing from $8 to $9 would
increase revenue, and increasing from $9 to
$9.60 would decrease revenue, we just
didnโt know how much the increase and
decrease would be. Therefore, the answer to
part (d) does not contradict the answers to
parts (b) and (c). In fact it confirms them.

b) No, the elasticity of demand is constant for
all prices. E ๏จ x ๏ฉ ๏ฝ n .
c) Total revenue is maximized when
E ๏จ x ๏ฉ ๏ฝ 1 . Since E ๏จ x ๏ฉ ๏ฝ n , total revenue
will be maximized when n ๏ฝ 1 .
17.
Answers will vary. The elasticity of demand
is a measure of the responsiveness of
quantity demanded to changes in price. This
measure allows economists to determine
how sensitive quantity demanded is to price
changes and help predict the effect of price
changes on total revenue.
18.
Answers will vary. In general, the greater
the availability of substitutes and the better
the substitutes are will cause goods to have a
higher elasticity of demand. For example,
the demand for tea is relatively elastic
because of the wide range of substitutes
available, such as coffee, soda, or water.
However, a diabeticโs demand for insulin is
very inelastic because there are no close
substitutes for insulin.

a) First, we rewrite the demand function to
make it easier to find the derivative.

63. Using the calculator, we have:
๏ฉ
Given an equation in x and y where y is a
function of x but where it is difficult or
impossible to express y in terms of x, implicit
differentiation allows us to find the derivative of
y with respect to x.
64. Using the calculator, we have:
One dictionary defines โimplicitโ as
โcapable of being understood from something
else though unexpressedโ or โinvolved in the
nature or essence of something though not
revealed, expressed, or developed.โ When a
function y of x is defined implicitly it is written
as an equation in x and y where y is not
expressed in terms of x but where it is
understood or implied that y is indeed a function
of x.
