- 1. Multiple ChoiceThe population of a town x years after 2000 is modeled by P(x). What is the best interpretation of P'(10) = 50.In 2010, the population was increasing 50 people per year.In 2010, the population was 50 people.It took 10 years for the population to increase by 50 people.The average change in population over the 10 years was 50 people per year.
- 2. Multiple ChoiceThe function f is twice differentiable with f(2) = 1, f'(2)=4, and f''(2)=3. What is the value of the approximation of f(1.9) using the line tangent to the graph of f at x = 2?0.40.60.71.4
- 3. Multiple Choice
Suppose that for a twice differentiable function f (x), f '(x) > 0 and f ''(x) > 0 on the interval (1,3). If we use a linear approximation at x = 2 to estimate f (1.9), will that estimate be an underestimate or overestimate, and why?
Underestimate since f '' > 0 on (1, 3)
Overestimate since f '' > 0 on (1,3)
Underestimate since f ' > 0 on (1, 3)
Overestimate since f ' > 0 on (1, 3)
