The motion of a particle is described by the equation x(t) = 2t 3 – 12t2 – 40t + 60, where x is
measured in meters and t is measured in seconds. Find the velocity when the acceleration of the particle is
equal to zero.

A. -241 m/s B. -64 m/s C. -32.50 m/s D. -85.00 m/s

Solution:
x(t) = 2t3 – 12t2 – 40t + 60
v(t) = x’(t) = 6t2 – 24t – 40

Find the abscissa of the points on the graph of y = x3 + 2x2 – 4x + 5 at which tangent line is
parallel to the line 2y + 8x – 5 = 0.

a. (1, -4/3) b. (2, 4/3) c. (-1, -2/3) d. (0, -4/3)

Given:

y = x3 + 2x2 – 4x + 5

2y + 8x – 5 = 0

Required:

Abscissa of the points on the graph

Solution:

y = x3 + 2x2 – 4x + 5
dy/dx = 3x2 + 4x – 4

2y + 8x – 5 = 0 → y = -4x + 5/2

dy/dx = m = -4

-4 = 3x2 + 4x – 4

3x2 + 4x = 0

Using quadratic formula,

x = (-b ± √ (b2 – 4ac))/2a → x = (-4 ± √ (42 – 4(3)(0)))/2(3)

x1 = (-4 + 4)/6 = 0

x2 = (-4 - 4)/6 = -8/6 = -4/3

(0, -4/3)

Therefore, the points on the graph is (0, -4/3). The answer is letter D.

A. 9y+4x +21= 0 C. 9y-4x -21= 0

B. 9y+4x-21= 0 D. 9y+4x -32= 0

Given:

P (3, 1), xy = 4

Required:

Equation of the line that are tangent to the graph of xy = 4

Solution:

For the slope of the line tangent to the graph at point h,k is equal to the first derivative of the y with
respect to x

M= slope= dy/dx

Derive the given equation

 dy/dx= -4/x^(2)

Then substituting the value of x to the result of derivation

m = - 4/(3)^(2)

m= -4/9

And for determining the equation of the line that are tangent to the graph

y - k = m(x-h)

Substituting the value of the slope from the derivation and the given points to the equation where m=-4/ 9,
h =3, k=1

y – 1 = - 4/9 (x-3)

Simplifying the equation thus,

9y – 9 = - 4x +12

9y + 4x -21= 0

The ans. is letter B

9y + 4x -21= 0

b. 2y + x -5 = 0 d. 2y – 4x -5 = 0

Given:

y = x2 + 1 at point (1,2)

Required:

Equation of normal line to the graph

Solution:
 Substitute:

y = (1)2 + 1

y=2

y = mx + b

2 = (1)(1) + b

b=1

(y-2) = (-1/2) (x-1)

2(y-2) = -x + 1

2y-4 = -x + 1

2y + x - 5 = 0

Answer: B.

have minimum surface area?

a. r= 5.4 cm; h = 10.8 cm c. r= 9.27 cm; h = 18.53 cm

b. r= 15.9 cm; h =1256.6 cm d. r= 1.26 cm; h = 20.84 cm

Given:

V= 5 liters = 5000 cm3

Required:

Solution:

Using the formula of the volume of cylinder V= pi(r2) h

Where h=2r

V= pi(r2) h
 5000 cm3 = pi(r2)2r

r3 = 5000 cm3 / 2pi

r = 9.266805448 cm

h= 2r

h= 2(9.266805448 cm)

h= 18.5309 cm

Find the maximum area of a rectangle whose perimeter is 100 in.

a. 525 in2 b. 625 in2 c. 725 in2 d. 825 in2

Given:
Perimeter = 100 in.
Required:
Maximum area of a rectangle
Solution:
Let L = length
W = width

Perimeter of a rectangle:
P = 2 (L + W)
100 in. = 2 (L + W)
L + W = 50 in
W = 50 - L

For the maximum area of a rectangle:

A=LxW
A = L (50 - L)
A= 50L – L2
dA/dL = 50 – 2L
To find the maximum area, let dA/dL = 0.
0 = 50 – 2L
50 = 2L
L = 25

A = 25 in x 25 in
A = 625 in2

Therefore, the maximum area of the rectangle is 625 in 2.

possible?

a. 24 and 26 b. 28 and 22 c. 25 and 25 d. 20 and 30

Given:

Solution:

Let x = first positive number

y = second positive number

z = largest possible product

x + y = 50

x = 50 – y eq. 1

xy = z eq. 2
Substitute eq. 1 to eq. 2:

z = (50 – y) (y) = 50y – y2

dz/dx = 50 – 2y

0 = 50 – 2y

y = 25

Substitute y = 25 in eq. 1:

x = 50 – 25

Therefore, the numbers are c, 25 and 25.

Given: Car A: @12:00 pm, 30 kph west

Car B: @2:00 pm, 45 kph north

Required: speed of two cars separating at 4:00 pm

Solution:

S2 = (60 + 30t)2 + (45t)2

2S(dS/dt) = 2(60 + 30t)(30) + 2(45t)()45

(dS/dt) = [(60 + 30t)(30) + 45(45t)] / S (eq.1)

When t = 2 hrs

S2 = [60 + 30(2)]2 + [45(2)]2

S2 = 22500

S = 150 km

Substitute S = 150 km and t = 2hrs in eq.1

(dS/dt) = {[60 + 30(2)] (30) + 45[45(2)]} / 150 km

(dS/dt) = 51 kph

Therefore, the answer is B, 51 kph.

What is the area bounded by y = 0, y = ex, x = 0 and x = 1?

A. 0.86 B. 1.36 C. 1.72 D. 2.72

Given:

y = 0, y = ex

x = 0, x = 1

Required:

Area

Solution:

Formula for Area using integration is,

1
A = | ∫ −¿¿ (ex) |
0

A = ex

Substituting the limits,

A = e 1 – e0

A = 1.718281828 sq. units.

Therefore,

The answer is C.

Find the area bounded by the parabola y=4- x2 and the straight line y=2.

A. 7√2/3 B. 8√2/3 C. 0 D. 4

Given: y=4-x2

y=2

Required: Area

Solution:

y = 4 – x2
 y=2

2 = 4 – x2

x = ±√ 2 ; x = √ 2 , x = - √ 2

if x = √ 2 if x = -√ 2

y = 4 – (√ 2)2 y = 4 – (√ 2)2

y=2 y=2
