A. −195dx2 . B. −193dx2 . C. −197dx2 . D. −194dx2 . E. −196dx2 .
Solution.
We have
y ′ = 4 cos3 (7x)(− sin(7x)) × 7 = −28 cos3 (7x) sin(7x)
⇒ y ′′ = −28 × 3 cos2 (7x)(− sin(7x)) × 7 × sin(7x) − 28 × 7 cos3 (7x) cos(7x).
Thus
y ′′ (0) = −28 × 7 = −196 ⇒ d2 y(0) = −196dx2 .

Question 23. [L.O.1] A particle moving on the x−axis has position s(t) = t3 − 30t2 + 192t + 7 (m)

Question 34. [L.O.2] Find the maximum value of
®

f (x) =
x2 − 74x + 181, if 2 < x ⩽ 37

A. 37. B. 39. C. 40. D. 38. E. 36.

Solution.
If 0 ⩽ x ⩽ 2 then
f (x) = e2−x + x2 + 13x + 6 ⇒ f ′ (x) = −e2−x + 2x + 13
and f ′′ (x) = e2−x + 2 > 0, ∀x ∈ (0, 2). Therefore,

f ′ (x) ⩾ f ′ (0) = −e2 + 13 > 0, ∀x ∈ (0, 2) ⇒ fmax = f (2) = 37, x ∈ [0, 2].

If 2 ⩽ x ⩽ 37 then

f (x) = x2 − 74x + 181 ⇒ f ′ (x) = 2x − 74 < 0, ∀x ∈ (2, 37) ⇒ fmax = f (2) = 37, ∀x ∈ [2, 37].

The function f is continuous at x = 2. Thus, fmax = f (2) = 37, ∀x ∈ [0, 37].

The correct answer is A □
Question 35. [L.O.2] Recall that volume of a right cylinder is V = π.r2 .h, where r is the radius
of the base and h is the height. Given a right cylinder with the radius of the base of 14 cm and
the height of 8 cm. The radius of the base is increasing at a rate of 0.31 cm/s, and its height is
increasing at a rate of 0.52 cm/s. How fast is the volume of cylinder increasing?
A. 539.3433. B. 541.3433. C. 540.3433. D. 537.3433. E. 538.3433.
Solution.
The formula for the volume of a right cylinder is

V = π.r2 .h, (1.1)

where r is the radius of the base and h is the height.

In this problem, V, r and h are functions of the time t in seconds. Taking the derivative of both
sides of equation (??) with respect to time yields

Since the radius of the base is increasing at a rate of 0.31 cm/s and the height is increasing at a
rate of 0.52 cm/s,
dr dh

Substituting these, as well as r = 14 and h = 8, into equations (??) yields

Solution.
The rate of change ofÅthe surface area of the ã pyramid with respect to the length x of each side is
2 × 0.5 × v + 9
S ′ (x) = S ′ (v).v ′ (x) = 1.0 + √ × v ′ (x). When x = 9, we have
