Then f (c)  0 has at least one solution on the interval [0;  ] by the root location
theorem. (0.25)

Therefore, by the root L.T there is at least one number c on [0;  ] for which f (c)  0 and

Question 5 (1 pts) At noon a sailboat is 20 kilometers south of a freighter. The sailboat is

travelling east at 20 kilometers per hour, and the freighter is travelling south at 40
kilometers per hour. If visibility is 10 kilometers, could the people on the two ships ever
see each other?

No.: BM1/QT-PĐBCL-RĐTV Page: 1/1

Solution

The distance D between the two ships is given by

D  (20t ) 2  (20  40t ) 2 , t  0 (0.25)

The goal is to determine whether D  10 for any such value of t , and to accomplish this,
we will find the minimum value of D

400(2t  2(2  4t ))
D/  (0.25)
2 (20t ) 2  (20  40t ) 2

2
 D /  0  400(10t  4)  0  t  (0.25)

2 2
D / (t )  0 for 0  t  and D / (t )  0 for t  (0.25)

It follows that D   is the minimum value of D

2 2 2
D    (20. ) 2  (20  40. ) 2  80  10

We can conclude that the people on the 2 ships could see each other. In particular,
they could see each orther 2/5 of an hour afternoon. That is at 20.24 pm

Question 6 (1 pt) Find all absolute maxima and minima of

Solution

 cos 3 x

f / ( x) is not defined at x  0 ; f (0)  0

 0 is a critical number. (0.25)

Question 7 (1 pts) Let f  x   x  2sin x . Find the average value of f on the interval
 0,   .

Question 8 (1 pts) Find the particular solution of the separable differential equation
satisfying the initial condition

x2  1
dy x
 ;y
dx y
 3  2 .
Solution:

dy x x
x2  1   y dy  dx (0.25)
dx y x2  1

Take integral both sides:

x
 y dy   x2  1
dx (0.25)

y2
 x 2  1  c (0.25)
2

22
We have y ( 3)  2   3  1  c  c  0 (0.25)
2

So the solution is y 2  2 x 2  1 .
