 Question 4 (15 points) Census figures for the US population (in millions) are listed in the table below. Let
f be the function such that P = f (t ) is the population (in millions) at year t .

Year 1950 1960 1970 1980 1990

Population 150.7 179.0 205.0 226.5 248.7

Assume that f is increasing, so f is invertible.

(a). (3 points) What is the meaning of f (1980)?

(b). (4 points) What does the derivative of f (Y ) at Y = 1980 represent? What are its units? Your re-
sponse should be a clear, complete sentence.

(c). (3 points) What is the meaning of f −1 (200)?

Since f determines the population size P in millions at year t, f-inverse will determine the year at which the
population size is P. So f-inverse of 200 means the year at which the population size is 200 million.

(d). (4 points) What does the derivative of f −1 (P ) at P = 200 represent? What are its units? Your
response should be a clear, complete sentence.

When the population is 200 million, f-inverse of 200 determines the year t at which the population will increase by 1 million

(e). (1 point) Estimate f −1 (200).

Question 5 (10 points) A potter forms a piece of clay into a cylinder. As she rolls it, the length, L, of the
cylinder increases and the radius, r , decreases. If the length of the cylinder is increasing at 0.1 cm/sec,
find the rate at which the radius in changing when the radius is 1 cm and the length is 5 cm. (Note: A
cylinder with radius r and length L has volume V = πr 2 L.)

Question 6 (15 points) In order to survive and perform their tasks, cells in your body must simultane-
ously produce and break down a molecule called ATP. When ATP is broken down, energy is released
to the cell, and ATP is destroyed. For a certain cell, the rate of production of ATP, P (t ), in millions of
molecules per second, and the rate at which ATP is broken down, C (t ), also in millions of molecules
per second, are given in the following figure, where t is in seconds. The graph of P (t ) is shown as a
solid line, and C (t ) is dashed.

(a). (5 points) At time t = 1, is ATP increasing or decreasing? Be sure to clearly justify your conclusion
using data from the above graph. No points if there is no justification.

(b). (5 points) At approximately what time between t = 0 and t = 6 does the cell have the greatest
amount of ATP? Be sure to clearly justify your conclusion using data from the above graph. No
points if there is no justification.

(c). (5 points) At approximately what time between t = 0 and t = 6 is the amount of ATP in the cell
decreasing the fastest? Be sure to clearly justify your conclusion using data from the above graph.
No points if there is no justification.

Question 7 (15 points) A local garden store plans to build
a large rectangular sign on the interior wall at one
end of their greenhouse. The roof along this wall is
centered around a vertical support beam. The height
of the roof, r (measured in meters), can be expressed
as a function the horizontal distance from the verti-
cal support beam, x (measured in meters), by

5 2
r (x) = 5 − x − 4 ≤ x ≤ 4.

angle is one possible sign that could be built.

(a). (5 points) Write the area A(x) of the sign (in square meters), as a function of x, Be sure to specify
the domain of A(x).

(b). (10 points) Find the value(s) of x for which the sign has the largest possible area. Use calculus
to find your answers, and be sure to show enough evidence that the values you find do in fact
maximize the area.
