1. Consider the function \(f(x) = x^2\), on the interval \( (-1, 2)\).
a. This function has no maximum and no minimum on this interval.
b. This function has a maximum but no minimum on this interval.
c. This function has a minimum but no maximum on this interval.
d. This function has a minimum and a maximum on this interval.
2. Consider the function \(f(x) = x^2\), on the interval \( [-2, 1)\).
3. A spherical balloon is inflated with gas at the rate of 400 cubic centimeters per second (that is, the volume of the sphere is increasing at a rate of 400 cubic centimeters per second). How fast is the radius of the balloon increasing when the radius is 50 cm? The volume of a sphere is \(\frac{4}{3}\pi\) times the radius cubed.
a. \(\frac{0.02}{\pi}\) cm/s
b. \(\frac{0.04}{\pi}\)cm/s
c. \(\frac{0.2}{\pi}\) cm/s
d. \(\frac{0.4}{\pi}\) cm/s
e. 2 \(\pi\) cm/s
