For questions 4 and 5, 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/s2.

4. 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)=t2

d.  v(t)=2t2

e.  v(t)=2t1

 

5. Find a formula for the height, h of the balloon in m.

a.  h(t)=t2+100t

b.  h(t)=12t2+100t+100

c.  h(t)=12t2+t+100

d.  h(t)=12t2t+100

e.  h(t)=12t22t+100

 

6. Which one of the following represents a right hand sum for the function f(x)=2x between x=0 and x=2 with n=4 equal subintervals.

a.  (12)(2)+(12)(2)+(12)(22)+(12)(4)

b.  (14)(2)+(14)(2)+(14)(22)+(14)(4)

c.  (14)(2)+(12)(2)+(34)(22)+(1)(4)

d.  (12)(2)+(1)(2)+(32)(22)+(2)(4)

e.  (12)(14)+(12)(1)+(12)(94)+(12)(4)

 

7. Consider the area under the curve y=f(x)=1x2 between x=0 and x=1. (It will help you answer this question if you draw the curve first.)

a.  The left-hand-sum with n=4 subintervals is an underestimate of the true area under the curve.

b.  The right-hand-sum with n=4 subintervals is an underestimate of the true area under the curve.

c.  The right-hand-sum with n=4 subintervals is an overestimate of the true area under the curve.

d.  None of the above are true.
