2. An open rectangular tank whose length is twice the width is to be constructed using a piece of thin metal
with an area of 3.2 square meters.
a. Find the dimensions of the tank that will maximize the volume.
b. What is the maximum volume?

3. Evaluate the following limits. Use −∞ or +∞ when needed.

%' ! #*' " +'+!
a. lim %'#,' !

6. Two airplanes are flying in the air at the same height: airplane A is flying east at 250 miles per hour,
while airplane B is flying north at 300 miles per hour. If they are both heading to the same airport located 30
miles east of airplane A and 40 miles north of airplane B, at what rate (in miles per hour) is the distance
between the airplanes changing?
