Question 1

A particle moves in the NO-plane so that its position at any time J, for
3  J  3 , is given by
N (J )  sin(3J ) and OJ 
J .
(a) Sketch the path of the particle in the NO-plane provided. Indicate the direction of motion
along the path.
(b) Find the range of N J  and the range of OJ  .
(c) Find the smallest positive value of J for which the N-coordinate of the particle is a local
maximum. What is the speed of the particle at this time?
(d) Is the distance traveled by the particle from J
3 to J  3 greater than #3 ? Justify

gallons per day, where J is measured in days. There are 50 gallons of the pollutant in the lake at
time J = 0. The lake is considered to be safe when it contains 40 gallons or less of pollutant.
(a) Is the amount of pollutant increasing at time J = 9 ? Why or why not?
(b) For what value of J will the number of gallons of pollutant be at its minimum? Justify your
answer.
(c) Is the lake safe when the number of gallons of pollutant is at its minimum? Justify your
answer.
