Last night at 6 p.m., Linda got up from her blue easy chair. She did not return to her easy chair until she sat down again at 8 p.m. Let s(t) be the distance between Linda and her easy chair t minutes after 6 p.m. last night.
(a) Sketch a possible graph of s(t), and describe what Linda did between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m. according to your graph. (Questions to think about: Will Linda necessarily move in a continuous and differentiable way? What are good ranges for t and s?
(b) Use Rolle’s Theorem to show that at some point between 6 p.m. and 8 p.m., Linda’s velocity v(t) with respect to the easy chair was zero. Find such a place on the graph of s(t).
Use the first derivative test to determine the local extrema of each function in Exercises 39- 50. Then verify your algebraic answers with graphs from a calculator or graphing utility.
The cost of manufacturing a container for frozen orange juice is cents, where is the height of the container in inches. Your boss claims that the containers will be the cheapest to make if they are inches tall. Use Theorem 3.3 to quickly show that he is wrong.
