Question

The duration of daylight L in minutes(sunrise to sunset), x kilometers north of the equator on May 17, is given by the function L=f(x). What are the units of measurement of the second derivitive f"(4000)?

a)kilometers/minute

b)minutes/kilometer

c)kilometers/minute^2

d) minutes/kilometer^2

e) minutes^2/kilometer^2

 

The derivative of a function is NEGATIVE everywhere on the interval x = 2 to x = 3. Where on this interval does the function have its maximium value?

a). At x = 2

b) At x = 3

c.) Somewhere between x = 2 and x = 3

d) It does not have a maximium since the derivative is never zero

e) We cannot tell if it has a maximium since we don't knw where the second derivative is negetive.
