Chapter 3 Determining Change: Derivatives
Section 3.1 Drawing Rate-of-Change Graphs 1. The slopes are negative to the left of A and positive
to the right of A. The slope is zero at A.
2. The slope is constant and positive everywhere.
3. The slopes are positive everywhere, near zero to the
left of zero, and increasingly positive to the right of zero.
4. The slopes are positive to the left of the origin and
negative to the right of the origin. Moving from left to right, the slopes begin near zero, increase to a maximum at the first inflection point of the graph, decrease to zero at x = 0, continuing decreasing (becoming negative) until the point of most negative slope is reached (the second inflection point of the graph), then increasing toward zero while remaining negative.
5. The slope is zero everywhere.

6. The slopes are positive to the left of A, negative from A to B, positive from C to D, and negative to the right of C.
7. The slopes are negative everywhere. The magnitude is
large close to x = 0 and is near zero to the far right.
8. The slopes are positive everywhere. The slopes are
large close to x = 0 and approach zero to the far right.
9. The slopes are negative to the left and right of A. The
slope appears to be zero at A.
10. The slopes are negative everywhere. The slopes begin
near zero at the left side of the graph, decrease to a minimum at B, and then increase while approaching zero.

Rate of change graph:
23. The derivative does not exist at x = 0, x = 3, and x = 4 because the graph is not continuous at those input values.
24. The derivative does not exist at x = 3 because the slopes from the right and left are different,
and it does not exist at x = 6 because the graph is not continuous at that input.
25. The derivative does not exist at x = 2 and x = 3 because the slopes from the left and right are
different at those inputs.

26. The derivative does not exist at x = 0, x = A, and x = B because the slope approaches infinity and the function is undefined at these
inputs.

33. One possible answer: When sketching a rate-of-change graph, it is important to identify the following features on the graph of the original function: 1) input values for which the derivative does not exist, 2) input intervals over which the function is increasing, 3) input intervals over which the function is decreasing, 4) input values that correspond to a relative maximum or minimum of the function, 5) input values for which the function appears to be increasing or decreasing most rapidly, 6) input values that correspond to inflection points where the function has zero slope.
34. One possible answer: It is important to identify the intervals on which ( )f x is increasing,
decreasing or constant. These intervals correspond to intervals on '( )f x that are positive,
negative or zero. Assuming ( )f x is a smooth, continuous curve, maximum and minimum
points of ( )f x become the zeros of '( )f x . Inflections points of ( )f x become relative
maximum and minimum points on '( )f x . If ( )f x is not smooth and/or continuous, it is
important to identify the points where '( )f x does not exist. These points are identified as
sharp points, discontinuities or points where a vertical tangent line would be drawn on ( )f x . Section 3.2 Simple Rate-of-Change Formulas 1.

Because the artisan cannot sell a fraction of a bench, the maximum profit occurs at either 9 or 10 benches. By evaluating the profit function at b = 9 and b = 10, we determine that profit will be greatest when she sells 10 benches.

When 15 units are produced, the average hourly cost per unit is decreasing at a rate of approximately $0.44 per unit; that is, if production is increased from 15 to 16 units, the average hourly cost per unit will decrease by approximately $0.44. Increasing production will lower the average hourly cost per unit.
When 35 units are produced, the average hourly cost per unit is increasing at a rate of approximately $0.19 per unit; that is, if production is increased from 35 to 36 units, the average hourly cost per unit will increase by approximately $0.19. Increasing production will raise the average hourly cost per unit.
When 85 units are produced, the average hourly cost per unit is increasing at a rate of approximately $1.70 per unit; that is, if production is increased from 85 to 86 units, the average hourly cost per unit will increase by approximately $1.70.

When 80 units are produced each hour, the profit from the sale of one window is decreasing by $1.61 per unit produced. In other words, if production is increased from 80 to 81 windows per hour, then the average profit per window will decrease by approximately $1.61. This indicates that if the company wishes to maximize the profit per window, they should not increase production above 80 units per hour.

39. One possible answer: The graph of a cubic function with a positive 3ax term will increase, then decrease (or level off if the cubic function does not decrease at all), and finally increase again. The derivative graph for this cubic function will be a parabola with positive values at each end corresponding to the intervals of increase and either an interval of negative values (or the single slope value of 0 corresponding to the point that divides the two intervals of increase).
40. One possible answer: The derivative of the function 3 2y ax bx cx d= + + + can be broken down into four terms using the sum rule for derivatives:

x x dollars per quarter is the rate of change of
weekly manufacturing costs at a manufacturing company during the xth quarter after January 1, 2000, for the period from January 2000 through December 2003.
According to the graph, the rate of change is always positive. No, the cost will never decrease.
48. a. The data are essentially concave up, which indicates that a quadratic or exponential model
may be appropriate. After comparing the fit of both models, the quadratic model appears to fit the original data set best. An exponential model may fit better if the output data was shifted down.

Although a graph of C may not appear ever to decrease, a graph of dC
dx is negative
between x = 0 and x ≈ 0.965, indicating that cost was decreasing from the end of 1990 to (almost) the end of 1991. A close-up view of the graph of C between x = 0 and x = 2 confirms this.
49. One possible answer: Composite functions are formed by making the output of one function (the inside) the input of another function (the outside). It is imperative that the output of the inside and the input of the outside agree in the quantity that they measure as well as in the units of measurement.

40. One possible answer: The graphical method is the least accurate method for finding an
instantaneous rate of change. This method requires the user to sketch an accurate graph and tangent line as well as estimate two points on the line to determine its slope. The numerical method provides a better estimate of the instantaneous rate of change and will sometimes provide the exact instantaneous rate of change. The algebraic method computes the exact instantaneous rate of change at a point or for an entire function. The disadvantage to the algebraic method is that when f(x) is any function other than a polynomial, higher level algebra
is required to simply the difference quotient ( ) ( )f x h f x

29. One possible answer: Consider the case 0
0. We know that 1)
0lim 0h
h
c→= for any non-zero real
number and 2) 0
limh
c
h→ is increasing (or decreasing) without bound for any non-zero real
number. If we apply these two statements repeatedly with c approaching 0, we end with an
apparent contradiction. Similar arguments can be applied for ∞∞
and 0 ⋅∞ .
30. One possible answer: Consider two functions n and m with input variable x that satisfy the
condition that as x approaches some constant c, n and m both approach 0. So the limit as x
approaches c of ( )( )
n xm x
is of the indeterminate form 00 . As x approaches c, ( )n x approaches 0,

so 1( )n x
increases (or decreases) without bound. Likewise, as x approaches c, ( )m x approaches
0, so 1( )m x
increases (or decreases) without bound. Using a little algebra, we can rewrite
( )( )
n xm x
as 1( )1( )
m x
