  1. (10 pts.) In celebration of the 150th anniversary of the founding of the town of Dandelion Creek, the city council of Dandelion Creek has constructed a large cylindrical tower made out of Jell-O in the Dandelion Creek’s central square. The base of the tower is a circle with a radius of 8 feet. The height of the tower is 50 feet. Over time, the Jell-O tower has gradually oozed, while retaining its cylindrical shape. The height is decreasing by 3 feet every day. Assuming that the volume of Jell-O remains constant, at what rate is the radius of the tower increasing?

Let V denote the volume of the Dandelion Creek tower (in cubic feet), r the radius of the base (in feet), and h the height of the tower (in feet). We can then write

V = πr^2 h.

Let t indicate time in days. Then differentiating everything in sight with respect to t, we get dV dt

= 2πrh

dr dt

  • πr^2

dh dt

Since the volume of the tower stays constant, dV /dt = 0. We also know that dh/dt = − 3. Thus, we know the values of all of the quantities in the above equation except for dr/dt. We hence have that

0 = 2π(8)(50)

dr dt

− π(8)^2 (−3)

or 0 = 800π

dr dt

− 192 π.

Solving for dr/dt, we get

dr dt

= 0. 24 feet per day.

  1. (10 pts.) The motion of a particle at a time t is given by x = f (t) and y = g(t). To the right are graphs of f and g.

(a) Sketch the trajectory of the particle on the xy-plane.

x = f (t) y = g(t)

(b) Estimate the speed of the particle at t = 6.

The speed is (^) √ (f ′(6))^2 + (g′(6))^2 ≈

(−2)^2 + 1^2 ≈ 2. 24.

Note that we estimate f ′(6) and g′(6) graphically by examining the slopes of the appropriate tangent lines.

  1. (20 pt.) Let P be a function whose derivative P ′^ is a decreasing concave down function and which satisfies P ′(2) = 5. What can you say about P? What can you say about the critical points and inflection points of P? Analyze the properties of P in a well-organized essay. Include formulas, graphs, and tables where appropriate.

Solutions may vary. However, we can ascertain the following properties of P :

  • Since P ′^ is decreasing, P must be concave down
  • The function P has one critical point which is a global maximum. The global maximum must occur at some point greater than 2. Note that the function P ′^ must have a root because it is concave down. A possible graph of P ′^ is shown below.

Graph of P ′

  • Since P ′^ has no local extrema, P has no inflection points.

Good solutions should...

... describe properties of P which follow from the given criteria ... clearly explain why the properties of P must follow from the above criteria. ... be well-organized, with few grammatical and spelling errors. ... utilize a combination of graphical, numerical, and algebraic methods in the explanation.
