Practice Test #2 ANSWERS & EXPLANATIONS

Then we need to find where the function is positive.

5x 4 − 30x 2 = 0

5x 2(x 2 − 6) = 0

x= − 6, 0, 6

We need to evaluate f′ at test values x = − 3, x = − 1, x = 1, and x = 3.

f′(−3) = 5(−3)4 − 30(−3)2 = 405 − 270 = 135 > 0

f′(−1) = 5(−1)4 − 30(−1)2 = 5 − 30 = − 25 < 0

f′(1) = 5(1)4 − 30(1)2 = 5 − 30 = − 25 < 0

f′(3) = 5(3)4 − 30(3)2 = 405 − 270 = 135 > 0

Therefore, the function increases on the interval (−∞, − 6) and ( 6, ∞).

f′′(x) = 20x 3 − 60x

20x 3 − 60x = 0

20x(x 2 − 3) = 0

x= − 3, 0, 3

We need to evaluate f′′ at the test values of x = − 2, x = − 1, x = 1, and x = 2.

f′′(−2) = 20(−2)3 − 60(−2) = − 160 + 120 = − 40 < 0

 AP® Calculus AB Ultimate Review Packet
Practice Test #2 ANSWERS & EXPLANATIONS

f′′(−1) = 20(−1)3 − 60(−1) = − 20 + 60 = 40 > 0

f′′(1) = 20(1)3 − 60(1) = 20 − 60 = − 40 < 0

f′′(2) = 20(2)3 − 60(2) = 160 − 120 = 40 > 0

Therefore, the function is concave up on the intervals (− 3,0) and ( 3, ∞).

Therefore, the function is increasing and concave up on the interval
( 6, ∞), because 3< 6.

6. Correct answer: (D)

We should take the derivative of each of I, II, and III, and see what we get.

8. Correct answer: (C)

Since speed is the absolute value of velocity, then | − 15 | > | 10 | and the
maximum speed is reached at t = 5 minutes.

9. Correct answer: (C)

If the acceleration is zero, then the slope is zero, or a horizontal line.

Therefore, the acceleration is zero on the interval [2,3] and [6,7].

y = 6x − 3π + 3

y − 6x = 3 − 3π

6x − y = 3π − 3

11. Correct answer: (C)

Since f′ is positive on (−∞, − 2), f must be increasing over this same interval.
Since f′ is negative on (−2,0) and (2,∞), f must be decreasing over these
same intervals.

12. Correct answer: (C)

f′(x) = 4x 3 − 30x 2 + 50x = 2x(x − 5)(2x − 5)

Use test values x = − 1, x = 1, x = 3, x = 6.

f′(−1) = 4(−1)3 − 30(−1)2 + 50(−1) = − 4 − 30 − 50 = − 84 < 0

f′(1) = 4(1)3 − 30(1)2 + 50(1) = 4 − 30 + 50 = 24 > 0

Therefore, at x = 0 the function f has relative minimum because f′ changes

from negative to positive, and the only false statement is C.

13. Correct answer: (A)

f is decreasing when f′ < 0. Since the numerator is non-negative, this is only

when the denominator is negative.

x < 4, or (−∞,4)

14. Correct answer: (B)

Use the chain rule

h′(x) = g′( f′(x)) ⋅ f′′(x)

g′′ will always be negative. Since h′(2) = − 3, f′′(2) must be positive.

Therefore, f must be concave up at x = 2.

15. Correct answer: (B)

Since the graph has a vertical tangent at the point (1,0), then the function f
is not differentiable at x = 1. And the function is discontinuous at x = 3, so f
is not differentiable at x = 3 as well.

21. Correct answer: (B)

Note that limits at infinity resemble horizontal asymptotes. The limit does
not exist when the degree of the numerator is greater than the degree of
the denominator, and the limit is zero when the degree of the denominator
is greater than the degree of the numerator. When the degrees are equal,
the limit is the ratio of the leading coefficients of the numerator and the
denominator. Therefore, the limit is zero.

The function is increasing from x = 0 to x = 1 by squared units, which was

determined by finding the area of the triangle. Then the function is
increasing from x = 1 to x = 3 by 2 square units. From x = 3 to x = 6, it is
increasing by 2 + 1 = 3 square units. From x = 6 to x = 8 the function is
decreasing by 2 square units. We can see that the function’s value is
greatest at x = 6 followed by at x = 8, then x = 3 and x = 1.

Therefore, f (1) < f (3) < f (8) < f (6).

From the graph, we see that the function f is not continuous at x = a.

33. Correct answer: (A)

The graph of y = x 2 + 2x − 8 is a parabola that changes from positive to

negative at x = − 4 and from negative to positive at x = 2. Since g is always

Therefore, f has a relative maximum at x = − 4 and a relative minimum at

2. Solution:

a(3) = =
9−3+ 1 7
v(3) = ln(32 − 3 + 1) = ln 7 ≈ 1.946

Since a(3) > 0 and v(3) > 0, then speed is increasing.

b. The particle changes direction when v(t) = 0.

ln(t 2 − t + 1) = 0

when

t2 − t + 1 = 1

t2 − t = 0

t(t − 1) = 0

t = 0, 1

So

v(t) < 0 for 0 < t < 1

v(t) > 0 for 1 < t < 7

Therefore, the particle changes direction when t = 1.

c. To find the position of the particle at time t, we need to use

t

s(t) = s(0) + ln(u2 − u+ 1) du

We substitute s(0) = 5 to get

g′(x) = f (x)

g′(−2) = f (−2) = 1

g′′(x) = f′(x)

g′′(−2) = f′(−2)

The slope of f is
−2 + 3 1
m= = = −1
1−2 −1

g′′(−2) = − 1

b. Since g′(x) = f (x) and f (x) ≤0 for 0 ≤x ≤2, the function g has neither a
relative minimum nor a relative maximum at x = 1.

c. To find where g has a relative minimum, we need to find where g′(x) = 0

and where g′ changes from negative to positive.

g′(x) = f (x)

Therefore, g′(x) = 0 where f (x) = 0: x = − 1, x = 1, and x = 3.

Since g′ = f changes from negative to positive only at x = 3, then g has a

relative minimum at x = 3.

d. The graph of g has a point of inflection at x = − 3, x = 0, x = 1, and x = 2

because g′(x) = f (x) changes from increasing to decreasing at x = − 3 and
x = 1 and from decreasing to increasing at x = 0 and x = 2.

4. Solution

a. To sketch a slope field, we need to find slope at each given point.

d. To find the equation of the tangent line, we use the formula

y = mx + b

where (x, y) = (5, − 2) and m = 2. Substitute and solve for b.

Therefore, we get y = 2x − 12. Now we need to find f (6).

f (6) = 2(6) − 12 = 0

Since f′′(x) < 0 on 5 ≤x ≤7, then 0 is the greatest possible value of f (6).

6. Solution:

a. To explain this, we need to evaluate the following

k(4) − k(2)
4−2
k(4) = g( f (4)) + 5 = g(4) + 5 = 10 + 5 = 15

k(2) = g( f (2)) + 5 = g(3) + 5 = 7 + 5 = 12

Then

Since h is continuous and differentiable, by the Mean Value Theorem, there
exists a value c, 2 < c < 4, such that k′(c) = 1.5.

b. Since h(x) = g(x) d x, then

h′(x) = g( f (x)) ⋅ f′(x)

Therefore

h′(2) = g( f (2)) ⋅ f′(2)

= g(3) ⋅ 4 = 7 ⋅ 4 = 28
