Get started for freeSuppose h(t) represents the average height, in feet, of a person who is t years old.
(a) In real-world terms, what does h(12) represent and what are its units? What does h' (12) represent, and what are its units?
(b) Is h(12) positive or negative, and why? Is h'(12) positive or negative, and why?
(c) At approximately what value of t would h(t) have a maximum, and why? At approximately what value of t would h' (t) have a maximum, and why?
Find the derivatives of the functions in Exercises 21–46. Keep in mind that it may be convenient to do some preliminary algebra before differentiating.
Prove that if f is any cubic polynomial function then the coefficients of f are completely determined by the values of f(x) and its derivative at x=0 as follows
A tomato plant given ounces of fertilizer will successfully bear pounds of tomatoes in a growing season.
(a) In real-world terms, what does represent and what are its units? What does represent and what are its units?
(b) A study has shown that this fertilizer encourages tomato production when less than ounces are used, but inhibits production when more than ounces are used. When is positive and when is negative? When is positive and when is negative?
