Accepted Answer

The tangent lines all have positive slopes.

Accepted Answer

The rate of growth decreases as $$t$$ increases.

Question 15

If the slope of the tangent line to $$f(x) at$$ $$x = a is $$negative, what does this indicate about $$f(x) at$$ $$x = a$$?

Accepted Answer

$$f(x) is $$decreasing at $$x = a$$

Question 16

Suppose $$s(t) is $$the position of a car in meters at time $$t in $$seconds. If $$s'(t) = 0 at$$ $$t = 5$$, what does this mean physically?

Accepted Answer

The car is momentarily at rest at $$t = 5$$ seconds.

Question 17

If $$f'(x) = 0$$ for all $$x in an $$interval, what can you conclude about $$f(x) on $$that interval?

Accepted Answer

$$f(x) is $$constant on that interval.

Accepted Answer

$$s(2) = -16(2^2$) + 64(2) + 10 = 74$$ feet
