Section II: Short Free Response

1. You will differentiate the function

First Differentiation:
Given function:

.t
2
2 x +3 x−7
f ( x )=
2x
First, rewrite the function as a sum of constant multiples of power functions:
2 7
f ( x )=x + − .t
3 2x
Now, differentiate each term with respect to 𝑥
d d 3 d 7
f ' ( x )= (x .t)+ ( . t)− ( . t)
dx dx 2 dx 2 x
Using the power rule and chain rule, we get the following:
7t
f ' ( x )=t+0− 2
2x
7t
f ' ( x )=t− 2
2x
Second Differentiation (Using Quotient Rule):
Apply the quotient rule:
( 2 x )( t )−(2 x ¿¿ 2+3 x−7)(1)(T )
f ' ( x )= 2
¿
(2 x )
Simplify the expression:
2
2 xt−2 x t+3 xt +7 t
f ' ( x )=
¿¿
2 2
−2 x t−x t +7 t
f ' ( x )= 2
4x
−t (2 x¿ ¿2+ x )+7 t
f ' ( x )= ¿
4 x2
f ' ( x )=−t ¿ ¿ ¿
Comparing both expressions, we find they are equivalent.
2. Slope of the Graph
To find where the slope of the graph is 1/2,

1
we need to find where f ' (x)=
2

( x +2 ) ( 1 )−( x)(1)
f ' (x)= 2
( x+2)

x +2−x
f ' (x)= 2
( x+ 2)

2
f ' (x)= 2
(x+ 2)

1
Setting f ' (x)=
2

2 1
=
( x +2) 2
2

2
( x+2)
2=
2

4= (x+2)2

X+2= + or – 2

X=0, X= -4

So, the slope of the graph of f ' (x)= at 𝑥=0 and x=−4.

3. Rocket's Position, Velocity, and Acceleration:

Given the position function s(t )=2 t(t 2−4 t+ 5)

I. Express velocity v(t) and acceleration 𝑎(𝑡)a(t) as functions of 𝑡t:

Velocity v(t) is the derivative of the position function:

ds d
= (2 t ( t −4 t+ 5 ) )
2
V ( t )=
dt dt

d 3
V ( t )=2 ( t −4 t 2+5 t )
dt

V ( t )=2 ( 3t 2−8 t +5 t )

V ( t )=( 6 t 2−16 t+10 )

Acceleration 𝑎(𝑡)a(t) is the derivative of the velocity function:

dv d
= ( 6 t −16 t+10 )
2
a ( t )=
dt dt

a ( t )=12 t−16

II. To find when acceleration equals zero, solve:

12 t−16=0

12t=16

t= 4/3

So, the rocket's position when its acceleration equals zero is at t=3/4 seconds.

4. Rate of Change of 𝑔(𝑥) with respect to x at 𝑥=8

Given

g ( x )=√ x . f (x)
3

f ( 8 )=2
f ' ( 8 )=5
d 3
g ' ( x )= ( √ x . f ( x ))
dx
Apply the product rule:
d
g ' ( x )= ¿
dx
1
. f ( x ) +√ x . f ' ( x )
3
g ' ( x )= 2
3
3x
1
.2+ √ 8 . 5
3
g ' ( 8 )= 2
3
3(8)
1
g ' ( 8 )= . 2+2.5
3 (4 )
1
g ' ( 8 )= . 2+5
12
1
g' (8 )= +10
6
1 60
g ' ( 8 )= +
6 6
61
g ' ( 8 )=

So, the rate of change of 𝑔g with respect to x when 𝑥=8 =
