Free-Response Question

Let f be the function given by f(x) = (create an original polynomial of degree

3 with at least three terms).

ex: f(x) = x3 – 12 – 2

Part A: Identify the relative extrema of f. Justify if your value is a local

minimum, local maximum, or neither.

Part B: On what interval(s) is the graph of f concave up? Concave down?

Justify your answer.

Using the graph given, create two linear functions from the endpoints of the
semicircle at (–4, 0) and (4, 0) such that the function drawn is continuous in
the domain [–10, 10]. The function created is f(x).
Part C: Find the value of

Let

Part D: Find the value of

Consider the differential equation (create a differential equation in

terms of both x and y).

ex:

Part E: Sketch a slope field for the given differential equation for the
domain [–5, 5] and range [–5, 5].

Part F: Let y = f(x) be the particular solution to the differential equation with
the initial condition f(2) = 1. Write an equation for the line tangent to the
graph of f at (2, 1).
