Question 1 (5 points) Saved

Without graphing, answer the following questions for each of the functions below:

i. What are the end behaviours of this type of function (what quadrant does it begin and
end in?)
ii. What is the maximum and minimum number of x-intercepts for this type of function?
iii. What is the maximum and minimum number of turns for this type of function?
iv. State if there are any restrictions on the domain and range on this type of function.

It may be easiest to format your answer by setting up a chart with the headings "End
Behaviours, Maximum number of x-intercepts, Minimum number of x-intercepts, Maximum
number of turns, Minimum number of turns, and Restrictions", then filling in your answers for
the functions listed.

Using what you have learned in this unit, solve the following problem:

A packaging company has been asked to make cylindrical cans that can hold a volume of
49π cm3. The company owns a machine that only makes cans that have a height which is
the square of 6 less than the radius. To achieve the desired volume, what should the
dimensions of the finished can be?

The height of a shotput can be modeled by the function:

H(t) = −4.9t2 + 8t + 1.5

where H is the height in metres and t is the time in seconds.

a) Graph this function using graphing technology. Ensure your axes are properly set up,
and state the domain and range that are appropriate for the situation. At what point do
you think the shotput was traveling the fastest? What factors did you use to make
your inference? Determine the average rate of change on a short interval near the
point you chose.

b) Determine the instantaneous rate of change at this point.

c) Are the rates you calculated in a) and b) the same or different? Why do you think this
is?
