Q. What is the sign of

-4 a b

when

a>0

and

b<0

?

\newline

Choose

1

answer:

\newline

(A) Positive

\newline

(B) Negative

\newline

(c) Zero

Check positivity of $a$ : Since a > 0, $a$ is positive.
Check negativity of $b$ : Since b < 0, $b$ is negative.
Multiply positive and negative numbers: Multiplying a positive number by a negative number gives a negative result.
Determine sign of $-4ab$ : Therefore, $-4ab$ is negative because $-4$ is negative, $a$ is positive, and $b$ is negative. Negative times positive times negative is negative.

Takumi plants a tree in his backyard and studies how the number of branches grows over time.

\newline

He predicts that the relationship between

N

, the number of branches on the tree, and

t

, the elapsed time, in years, since the tree was planted can be modeled by the following equation.

\newline

N=5 \cdot 10^{0.3 t}

Question

g(x)=2^{x}

\newline

Can we use the mean value theorem to say the equation

g^{\prime}(x)=16

has a solution where

3<x<5

\newline

1

\newline

(A) No, since the function is not differentiable on that interval.

\newline

(B) No, since the average rate of change of

g

over the interval

3 \leq x \leq 5

1 \overline{6}

\newline

(C) Yes, both conditions for using the mean value theorem have been met.
