For
all
problems:
1. Express
your
work
in
standard
mathematical
notation
rather
than
calculator
syntax.
2. Unless
otherwise
specified,
your
final
answers
should
be
accurate
to
three
decimal
places.
3. Unless
other
wise
specified,
the
domain
of
a
function
f
is
assumed
to
be
the
set
all
real
numbers
x
for
which
f(x)
is
a
real
number.

At
closing
time
at
a
shopping
mall,
the
mall
does
not
magically
empty.
There
are
customers
completing
sales
and
employees
who
have
to
go
through
closing
procedures.
In
the
table
below,
t
=
0
represents
the
announced
closing
time
of
the
mall,
negative
numbers
represent
time
in
minutes
before
closing
time,
and
positive
numbers
represent
time
in
minutes
after
closing
time.
The
total
number
of
people
in
the
mall
at
time
t
is
modeled
by
a
strictly
decreasing,
twice-differentiable
function
P.
Values
of
P(t)
at
selected
times
t
are
given
in
the
table
below:
T
(minutes)
-25
-15

P(t)

(a)
Use
the
data
in
the
table
to
estimate
P(-5).
Show
the
computation
that
leads
to
your
answer.
Using
correct
units,
interpret
the
meaning
of
your
answer
in
the
context
of
this
problem.
30
(b)
Use
the
data
in
the
table
to
evaluate
P '(t)dt .
Using
correct
units,
interpret
the
25
30
meaing
of
P '(t)dt
in
the
context
of
this
problem.
25
(c)
For
-25
(t)
30,
approximate
the
average
number
of
people
in
the
mall
by
using
a
right
Riemann
sum
with
four
subintervals.
Does
this
approximation
overestimate
or
underestimate
the
average
number
of
people
in
the
mall
over
this
time
period?
Explain
your
reasoning.
(d)
For
-25
(t)
30,
the
function
P
that
models
the
number
of
people
in
the
mall
has
first
derivative
given
by
P(t)
=
-10.148(0.94)t.
Based
on
the
model,
how
many
people
were
in
the
mall
5
minutes
before
closing
time?
2.
A
4-hour
carnival
is
serving
free
steaks.
The
rate
that
steaks
are
being
grilled
is
364 for t 2
give
by
the
non-continuous
function
C(t) =
.
The
rate
that
the
steaks
144 for t > 2
are
eaten
is
given
by
E(t) = 400 25t 2 as
shown
in
the
figure
below.
Both
rates
are
measured
in
steaks
per
hour
and
t
is
measured
in
hours.
When
the
steaks
are
done,
they
are
put
in
warming
trays.
There
are
150
steaks
that
are
already
in
the
warming
trays
when
the
carnival
opens.
(a)
What
is
the
rate
of
change
of
E(t)
at
t
=
1.5?
Explain
your
answer
using
proper
units.
(b)
What
is
the
average
number
of
steaks
that
are
eaten
each
hour
(nearest
steak).
(c)
For
0
t
4,
at
what
time
t
is
the
number
of
steaks
that
are
either
on
the
grill
or
in
the
warming
trays
a
minimum?
(d)
The
carnival
stays
open
after
its
announced
4
hours.
During
that
time,
no
more
steaks
are
grilled,
but
the
remaining
steaks
in
the
warming
tray
are
eaten
at
the
rate
of
50 t 4, t 4 .
Write,
but
do
not
solve,
an
equation
that
determines
the
amount
of
time
k
needed
for
people
to
eat
the
remaining
steaks.
