AP Calculus AB: Chapter 4 Review
NC1. Let f be a function that has domain; the closed interval [–1, 6] and range the closed interval [-10,2]. Let f have the derivative that is continuous and have the graph shown in the figure above.
a. Find all values of x for which f has a relative minimum. Justify your answer.
b. Find the intervals on which f is increasing. Justify your answer.
c. Find the intervals on which f is concave up. Justify your answer.
d. Find all values of x for which f has a point of inflection. Justify your answer.
C2. A gravel plant crushes gravel into sand. The sand falls from a spout and forms a right circular cone whose radius is always twice its height. The radius of the base is increasing at the rate of 6 inches per minutes. The volume of a cone with radius r and height h is given by . Find the rate at which the volume of the sand cone is changing when its height is 5ft. Specify units.
NC3.

NC5. Consider the function , where k is a real number.
a. Find .
b. For what constant k does f(x) have a relative maximum at x = 2?
C6. Find the dimensions of a cylindrical can with a bottom but no top of volume 12 m3 that uses the least amount of metal. The radius must be between 1 and 4m.
C7. Given , state the intervals on which the graph of f(x) is concave down on the interval [0,4]. Justify your answer.
