================================
f' = 3 x^2 + 10 x - 8
zero at x = 2/3 and at a = -2
f" = 6 x + 10
curvature is POSITIVE at x = 2/3
the function is headed UP
That is a MINIMUM

2. Determine the equation of the normal line to y = x^2 + 5 at the point (2, 9)
y=-1/4x + 17/4
*y=1/2x + 8
y=4x+1
y=4x-34
y=-1/4x + 19/2
==================================
dy/dx = 2x
at x = 2, slope = 2*2 =4
so m of normal= -1/slope = -1/4
y = -1/4 x + b
9 = -1/4 *2 + b
9 = -1/2 + b
b = 19/2 so I say the LAST one
y=-1/4x + 17/4
*y=1/2x + 8
y=4x+1
y=4x-34
y=-1/4x + 19/2
==================================
dy/dx = 2x
at x = 2, slope = 2*2 =4
so m of normal= -1/slope = -1/4
y = -1/4 x + b
9 = -1/4 *2 + b
9 = -1/2 + b
b = 19/2 so I say the LAST one

2 ft^3

*8.5 ft^3

=================================
side length s and height h
A = 4 s h + s^2 = 12
4 s h = 12 - s^2
h = (3/s) - s/(4)
V = s^2 h
V = 3 s - s^3/4
dV/ds = 3 - (3/4)s^2
at max or min dV/ds = 0
so
3/4 s^2 = 3
s = 2
then find h
h = 3/2 - 2/4
h =1
volume = h s^2 = 1 (4) = 4

#4, the way you typed it, ...
y' = 2x/3
when x = 8, y' = 16/3, which is not found in any of your choices as the slope
if you meant , f(x) = x^(2/3)
then y' = (2/3)x^(-1/3) = (2/3)(1/x^(1/3))
when x = 8
y' = (2/3)(1/2) = 1/3
the only one that has a slope of 1/2 is
L(x) = 1/3x + 4/3
y' = 2x/3
when x = 8, y' = 16/3, which is not found in any of your choices as the slope
if you meant , f(x) = x^(2/3)
then y' = (2/3)x^(-1/3) = (2/3)(1/x^(1/3))
when x = 8
y' = (2/3)(1/2) = 1/3
the only one that has a slope of 1/2 is
L(x) = 1/3x + 4/3

At a time of t seconds after the boy passed under the balloon,
distance covered by boy = 15t
height of balloon = 5 + 5t
let the distance between them be d ft
d^2 = (5t+5)^2 + (15t)^2
2d dd/dt = 2(5t+5)(5) + 2(15t)(15)
dd/dt =( 5(5t+5) + 15(15t) )/d
when t = 3,
d^2 = 20^2 + 45^2
d = √2425
dd/dt = (5(20) + 15(45))/√2425
= 775/(5√97)
= appr 15.74
which is none of the answers unless it was rounded off to 16 ft/sec
