d.  \(\frac{3}{2}x^2 + 2x + c\)

 

2. \(\int (x + 1)(x + 2) dx\). (Hint: before you start taking a derivative, try a little algebra.)

4. Evaluate the sum \(\sum_{k=-4}^{4} x^3\).

a.  0

b.  10

c.  100

d.  200

e.  201

 

5. Which of the following is equivalent to the sum \(1 + 10 + 100 + 1000 + 10000\)?

a.  \(\sum_{n = 1}^10000 n\)

b.  \(\sum_{n = 0}^10000 n\)

c.  \(\sum_{n = 1}^4 10^n\)

d.  \(\sum_{n = 0}^4 10^n\)

e.  \(\sum_{n = 1}^4 10n\)

 

For questions 6 and 7, say a hot air balloon starts at an altitude of 100 m and is initially falling at a rate of 2 m/s. At time 0, the balloon operator fires the burner and the balloon accelerates upwards at a rate of 1 m/s\(^2\).

6. Find a formula for the vertical velocity, \(v\) of the balloon in m/s.

a.  \(v(t) = 2t + 100\)

b.  \(v(t) = t + 100\)

c.  \(v(t) = t - 2\)

d.  \(v(t) = 2t - 2\)

e.  \(v(t) = 2t - 1\)

 

7. Find a formula for the height, \(h\) of the balloon in m.

a.  \(h(t) = t^2 + 100t\)

b.  \(h(t) = \frac{1}{2}t^2 + 100t + 100\)

c.  \(h(t) = \frac{1}{2}t^2 + t + 100\)

d.  \(h(t) = \frac{1}{2}t^2 - t + 100\)

e.  \(h(t) = \frac{1}{2}t^2 - 2t + 100\)
