This exam contains 33 problems, all multiple choice. The exam is double-sided. Check to see if
any pages are missing. Enter all requested information on the top of this page.
You may
not
use your books, notes, or any calculator on this exam. The following rules also apply:
Do not cut apart, tear apart, or in any other way remove any pages from
this exam packet.
Mark your exam version on your bubble sheet. Failure to do so may lead
to a score of 0.
Mark all of your multiple choice answers on the separate bubble sheet you
were provided.
You may write as much as you like, including indicating
your final answers, on this exam packet.
However, nothing written in
this packet for the multiple choice problems will be graded under any
circumstances.
So, be very careful when filling your answers in on the
bubble sheet to make sure you fill the bubble you intended.
Only fill in a single bubble for each question on your bubble sheet; any
question with multiple bubbles filled will be marked incorrect.
Do not
make any marks within bubbles that you do not want to select as your
answer or those problems will be marked incorrect.
No partial credit will be given on any multiple choice problem.
Each multiple choice problem is worth the same number of points.
You must submit this entire exam packet when turning in your bubble
sheet. Failure to do so will result in a score of 0 on the final exam

David is building a rectangular fenced area of his yard for a garden. The area of the garden must
be 100 ft
2
, and in order to be usable, each dimension of the garden must be at least 4 ft. One side
of the rectangular garden is parallel to the road, and requires a fancier type of fencing material
that costs 3 times as much per foot as the fencing material used for the other three sides. Let the
length of the side with the fancier material be
x
, and the total cost of fencing material be
C
(
x
).
David wants to spend as little on fencing material as possible. Answer questions 8 and 9 based on
this scenario.

of the function
f
(
x
) =
x

on the closed interval [0
,
4]?
A.
f
(
x
) does not have a global maximum on the interval [0
,
4]
B.
f
(
x
) must have a global maximum on [0
,
4] because this is a closed interval, and the
global maximum must be located at either a critical point or one of the two endpoints
of the interval.
C. All functions have a global maximum, so
f
(
x
) must have one as well.
D. If
f
(
x
) is discontinuous anywhere on [0

4], then it will definitely not have a global
maximum, otherwise it will.

f
(
x
) on an
open
interval (0
,
10). She
has correctly identified that
f
(
x
) has a critical point located at
x
= 3.
Which one of the
following additional statements is definitely true?
A. If
f
(
x
) is continuous on the open interval and the critical point at
x
= 3 is the only
local minimum on the open interval, then
f
(3) is the global minimum.
B. If the critical point at
x
= 3 is the only critical point of
f
(
x
) on the open interval
and it is a local minimum, then
f
(3) is the global minimum.
C. If
f
0
(1)
<
0 and
f
0
(5)
>
0, then
f
(3) is the global minimum.
D. If

EXTRA CREDIT:
Use the space below to answer the extra credit problem. Think about one
problem/topic you have worked on in this class this semester (from a homework, quiz, worksheet,
exam, etc) that you struggled to understand and solve, and explain how the struggle itself was
valuable.
In the context of this question, describe the struggle and how you overcame the struggle.
You
should discuss whether struggling built aspects of character in you (e.g. endurance, self-confidence,
competence to solve new problems) and how these virtues might benefit you in later ventures.
Please note that your answer should include some form of self-reflection in order to attain the 3 %
points.
Your answer should be no longer than 3-4 lines.
