1. [4 points] Does there exist a differentiable function f such that f (−1) = 2, f (2) = 10, and
f ′ (x) < 2 for all x? (Why or why not?)

2. [4 points] Find the number(s) c that satisfy the conclusion of the Mean Value Theorem when
considering f (x) = ln x on the interval [1, 9].
3a. [6 pts] Consider f (x) = sin2 x − 2 cos x on the interval [−π/2, 3π/2]. Find the critical numbers
of f on this interval and classify them as local max, local min, or neither. (Use the 1st or 2nd
derivative test to justify your answer.)

3b. [6 pts] Find the points of inflection of f and list the intervals (within [−π/2, 3π/2]) where f is
concave up.
