    Topics:

    • Continuous Functions

    • Derivatives

    .....................................................................................

    Problem 1. The toll T charged for driving on a certain stretch of a toll road is 5$
    except during rush hours (between 7 AM and 10 AM and between 4 PM and 7 PM)
    when the toll is 7$.

    a) Sketch a graph of T as a function of the time t, measured in hours past midnight.

    b) Discuss the discontinuities of this function and their significance to someone who
    uses the road.

    Problem 2. Explain why each function is continuous or discontinuous.

    a.) The temperature at a specific location as a function of time.

    b) The temperature at a specific time as a function of the distance due south from
    Hanoi city.

    c) The altitude above sea level as a function of the distance due east from Lao Cai
    city.

    d) The cost of a taxi ride as a function of the distance traveled.

    e) The current in the circuit for the lights in a room as a function of time.

    Problem 3. Show that there is a root of the equation (1 − x)3 = sin x in the interval
    (0, 1).

    Problem 4. Show that the two graphs y = ex and y = −x intersect.

    Problem 5. (Growth of yeast cells) In a controlled laboratory experiment, yeast cells


    are grown in an automated cell culture system that counts the number P of cells present
    at hourly intervals. The number after t hours is shown in the accompanying figure

    a) Explain what is meant by derivative P 0 (5). What are its units?

    b) Which is larger, P 0 (2) or P 0 (3)? Give a reason for your answer. Hint: Use the
    tangent lines.

    c) The quadratic curve capturing the trend of the data points is given by P (t) =
    6.10t2 − 9.28t + 16.43. Find the instantaneous rate of growth when t = 5 hours.

    Problem 6. (Effectiveness of a drug) On a scale from 0 to 1, the effectiveness E of a


    pain-killing drug t hours after entering the blood stream is displayed in the accompa-
    nying figure.

    a) At what times does the effectiveness appear to be increasing? What is true about
    the derivative at those times?

    b) At what time would you estimate that the drug reaches its maximum effective-
    ness? What is true about the derivative at that time? What is true about the
    derivative as time increases in the 1 hour before your estimated time?
