ONE f ' (x) = 6x2 – 10 Correct.


(a)
f ' (2) = 14

(b) 6x 3 Correct.
p(x) = 4x − + 13

or
p(x) = 4x – 2x3 + 13

(c) v = 0.2 t + 5 Finding expression for v


When v = 8 and equating to 8.
8 = 0.2t + 5
t = 15 secs Finding the value of t.

(d) 2v Finding expression for f ′.


f ' = −0.2 +

2 × 25
f ' = −0.2 + =0 Substitute 25 for v and
250 show the value of the
So v = 25 expression is 0
⇒ turning point
or find v = 25
Shape of parabola or from f ′ = 0

f " > 0 ⇒ minimum Justification.

(e) 1 Finding expression for v.


a = 5− t
