2. (12 points) If f0(x) = 3x48x3+ 6x2, find intervals of concavity and inflection points of the
original function f.
3. (12 points) A box with an open top is required to have its length twice its
width and its volume 288 in3. What dimensions will give a minimum surface
area (not including the top)?
4. (12 points) A spotlight on the ground is trained on a parachutist who is descending vertically
toward a spot on the ground 803 ft away from the spotlight. When the parachutist is 80 ft
above the ground and falling at 12 ft/sec, how fast is the angle between the ground and the
beam of the spotlight decreasing, in radians per second?
5. (11 points) On a planet where the acceleration of gravity is 10 m/sec2, an astronaut stands
at the edge of a cliff and drops a rock (with initial velocity 0). The rock hits the ground at
the base of the cliff 3 sec later. How high was the cliff (in meters)?

  1. (12 points) If f ′(x) = 3x^4 − 8 x^3 + 6x^2 , find intervals of concavity and inflection points of the original function f.
  2. (12 points) A box with an open top is required to have its length twice its width and its volume 288 in^3. What dimensions will give a minimum surface area (not including the top)?
  3. (12 points) A spotlight on the ground is trained on a parachutist who is descending vertically toward a spot on the ground 80

3 ft away from the spotlight. When the parachutist is 80 ft above the ground and falling at 12 ft/sec, how fast is the angle between the ground and the beam of the spotlight decreasing, in radians per second?

  1. (5 points) If the measurement in the side of a square may be off by 2%, by what percent may the computed area of the square be off? Or does the possible percentage error depend on the measurement of the side?
