Directions:
- Show all of your work. Your work will be scored on the correctness and completeness of your responses,
including your supporting work and answers. Answers without supporting work may not receive credit in cases
where supporting work is requested.
- During Part A, work only on questions 1 and 2. You are expected to use your graphing calculator for tasks such
as producing graphs and tables, evaluating functions, solving equations, and performing computations.
- For Part A, your calculator must be in radian mode. Avoid rounding intermediate computations on the way to the
final result. Unless otherwise specified, any decimal approximations reported in your work should be accurate to
three places after the decimal point.
- For Part A, it may be helpful to use your graphing calculator to store information such as computed values for
constants, functions you are working with, solutions to equations, and any intermediate values. Computations
with the graphing calculator that use the stored information help to maintain as much precision as possible and
ensure the desired accuracy in final answers.
- During Part B, questions 3 and 4, no calculator is allowed. Carefully read the instructions provided with the
questions. You may continue to work on questions 1 and 2 without the use of a calculator.

values of 𝑥 shown above. 𝑓(𝑥) is a function shown to the right
as the graph.

defined.

ii. If ℎ(𝑥 ) = 𝑓(𝑥), then define any discontinuities, their type, and their location when 𝑥 > 0.

(B) Suppose 𝑗(𝑥 ) = 4.998 ln(𝑥 ) ∗ 𝑒 2sin (√𝑥) could be used to model 𝑓(𝑥).
i. Determine the end behavior of 𝑗 when it increases without bound. Express your answer with the
mathematical definition of a limit if it exists. If it does not exist, explain why.

ii. Determine the vertical asymptote of 𝑗 when it approaches 0 from the right. Express your answer
with the mathematical definition of a limit if it exists. If it does not, explain why.

(C) Determine if 𝑔(𝑥), using the values in the table, can be best modeled with a linear, quadratic,
exponential, or logarithmic function. Explain your answer based on the relationship between the change
in the output values of 𝑔 and the change in the input values of 𝑔.

Since the value of 𝑥 is being multiplied by 2

while the value of 𝑦 is being added by one,
this means the expression is best
represented by a logarithmic

slows down over time. This perfectly correlates to a fraction of the remaining dog food being eaten per
minute. To predict how long it will take for the dog to finish his food, he times the dog and finds that 1
minute after starting to eat, the dog bowl has 145 pellets left. After 2 minutes, there are 115 pellets in the
bowl. This situation can be modeled by an exponential function, where 𝑃(𝑡) = 𝑎𝑒 𝑏𝑡 , 𝑃(𝑡) is the number of
pellets in the bowl, and 𝑡 is the time in minutes after the dog has started eating.
(A) Find an exponential function that models this situation.

(B) i. Find the average rate of change from 𝑡 = 0 to 𝑡 = 4. Explain its meaning in context of the problem.

ii. Will the rate of change from 𝑡 = 4 to 𝑡 = 𝑡𝑎 , where 𝑡𝑎 > 4, be greater or less than the rate of change
from 𝑡 = 0 to 𝑡 = 4? Justify your answer using your knowledge of the exponential function and its
concavity.

3. A second hand on a clock rotates clockwise at a constant speed around the clock. However, Charlie bought
a new clock that is dysfunctional, where the second hand completes a cycle every 30 seconds. The clock is
24 inches in diameter and is 5 feet above the ground. The distance between the point at which the second
hand is pointing to and the ground is periodically increasing and decreasing. The second hand starts at
