1. Find the absolute maximum and minimum values of the function on the given interval. (Three Points)

= , −1 ≤ ≤1

′ = −

=0→ − =0→ 1− =0→1− =0→ =1

Since 1 is not an interior point of the given interval, the function has no critical points there.

On the other hand,

−1 = − , 1 = 1⁄

So, g has an absolute minimum value of − at −1 and an absolute maximum value of 1⁄ at 1, by the Finite Closed Interval
Method.

2. Show that the function has exactly one zero in the given interval. (Three Points)

= + 3 + 1, −2 ≤ ≤ −1

Since f is a polynomial function, it is continuous at any point and therefore it is continuous on the given interval. Moreover,

−2 = 11, −1 = −1

So,
−1 < 0 < −2

Thus, there exists a number c between −2 and −1 such that

=0
by the Intermediate Value Theorem. Thus, c is a zero of the function between −2 and −1. Now, suppose that f has another zero d
between −2 and −1. Moreover, without loss of generality, assume that c is less than d. Hence,

< , =0=

Since f is a polynomial function, it is both continuous and differentiable at any point. Thus, f is continuous on , and
differentiable on , . So, there exists a number s between c and d (and therefore between −2 and −1) such that

′ =0
by Rolle’s Theorem. But
= − √6⁄2 →
!
=4 +3→4 +3=0→ > −1

which is a contradiction, because s is between −2 and −1. Hence c is the only zero f has.

3. Find the open intervals on which the function is increasing and decreasing, and then identify the function’s local and absolute
extreme values, if any, saying where they occur. (Three Points)

The domain of f is
&−2√2, 2√2'
and f is continuous at any point in its domain. Moreover,

So, −2 and 2 are the only critical points f has. Moreover,

(−2√2) = 0, −2 = −4, 2 = 4, (2√2) = 0

(−2√2, −2) −2,2 (−2√2, −2)

So, f has a local and absolute minimum value of −4 at −2 and a local and absolute maximum value of 4 at 2, by the Finite Closed
Interval Method and the First Derivative Test.
4. Identify the coordinates of any local and absolute extreme points and inflection points. (Three Points)

= √3 − 2 cos , 0≤ ≤ 2-

= √3 + 2 sin , = 2 cos

= 0 → √3 + 2 sin = 0 → sin = − √3⁄2 → = 4-⁄3 , = 5-⁄3

= 0 → 2 cos = 0 → cos =0→ = - ⁄2 , = 3-⁄2

So, 4-⁄3 and 5-⁄3 are the only critical points f has. Moreover,

0 = −2, 4-⁄3 = 4√3-⁄3 + 1, 5-⁄3 = 5√3-⁄3 − 1, 2- = 2√3- − 2

So, (2-, 2√3- − 2) is the absolute maximum point and 0, −2 is the absolute minimum point of f, by the Finite Closed Interval
Method. Furthermore, (4-⁄3 , 4√3-⁄3 + 1) is a local maximum point and (5-⁄3 , 5 √3-⁄3 − 1) is a local minimum point of f,
by the First Derivative Test. Finally, (-⁄2 , √3-⁄2) and (3-⁄2 , 3 √3- ⁄2) are the inflection points of f, by the Second Derivative
Test for Concavity.

6. Find a positive number for which the sum of it and its reciprocal is the least possible. (Three Points)

Since −1 is not an interior point of the given interval, 1 is the only critical point of f. Now, we will show that 1 is where the
absolute minimum value of the function occurs.

Thus, the absolute minimum value of f occurs at 1 and therefore, 1 is the positive number for which the sum of it and its reciprocal
is the least possible.
