1. (16 points) You sell Widgets and Yodgets. Your total revenue and total cost (in thousands
of dollars) for selling w thousand Widgets and y thousand Yodgets are given by
R(w, y) = 11w + 18y and C(w, y) = w

15w 20y + 130.
(a) Give the formula for prot P(w, y).
ANSWER: P(w, y) =
(b) The maximum value of prot occurs at the critical point of prot. What values of w
and y will yield maximum prot?
ANSWER: w = , y =
(c) If you are currently selling 10 thousand Widgets and 5 thousand Yodgets, which will lead
to a larger increase in prot: selling one additional Widget or one additional Yodget?
ANSWER: selling one additional (circle one) Widget Yodget
(d) If we x y to be 1 thousand Yodgets, the total cost function becomes a function only of
the variable w. What is the smallest value of the function C(w, 1)?

3. (12 points) Two cars, a red car and a gray car, travel down a long straight road starting at
t = 0. The distance (in feet) traveled by the red car after t seconds is given by the function
R(t) = 400t 5.5t
2
.
(a) Find a time when the instantaneous speed of the red car is 213 feet per second.
ANSWER: t = seconds
(b) Give a formula for the average speed of the red car from time t to time t +h. Simplify
as much as possible and put a box around your nal answer.
(c) We dont have a formula for G(t), the distance traveled for the gray car. Instead, we
have a formula for its average speed from t to t +h:
G(t +h) G(t)
h
=
113.4
(t +h + 1)(t + 1)
.
Find the instantaneous speed of the gray car.
ANSWER: G

(t) =
(d) Which of the following is true? (Circle one.)
i. The gray car is always getting faster.
ii. The gray car is always getting slower.
iii. The gray car gets faster and then gets slower.
iv. The gray car gets slower and then faster.
Show some work to justify your answer:

6. (20 points) Two balloons rise and fall. Balloon As altitude (in feet) after t hours is given
by
A(t) = t

30t + 231.
Balloon Bs rate of ascent (in feet per hour) at t hours is given by
b(t) = 3t

(a) Find the longest interval on which Balloon A is falling and Balloon B is rising.
ANSWER: from t = to t = hours
(b) Give the times at which Balloon Bs altitude function is reaching a local maximum
or local minimum.
ANSWER: local maximum at t = hours
local minimum at t = hours
