We might think that a ball that is dropped from a height of 6 feet and rebounds to a height 7/8 of its previous height at each bounce keeps bouncing forever since it takes infinitely many bounces. this is not true! we examine this idea in this problem. a)show that a ball dropped from a height h feet reaches the floor in 1/4(sqrt(h)) seconds. then use this result to find the time, in seconds, the ball has been bouncing when it hits the floor for the first, second, third and fourth times: first bounce=second bounce=third bounce=fourth bounce=b)how long, in seconds, has the ball been bouncing when it hits the floor for the nth time (find a closed form expression)? time at nth bounce =c)what is the total time that the ball bounces for? total time =

If p(x) is the total value of the production when there are x workers in a plant, then the average productivity of the workforce at the plant is a(x) = p(x) x . (a) find a'(x). a'(x) = xp'(x) − p(x) x a'(x) = xp'(x) − p(x) x2 a'(x) = p'(x) − p(x) x a'(x) = xp'(x) − p'(x) x2 a'(x) = p'(x) − xp(x) x2 why does the company want to hire more workers if a'(x) > 0? a'(x) > 0 ⇒ a(x) is ; that is, the average productivity as the size of the workforce increases. (b) if p'(x) is greater than the average productivity, which of the following must be true? p'(x) − xp(x) > 0 p'(x) − xp(x) < 0 xp'(x) − p'(x) > 0 xp'(x) − p(x) < 0 xp'(x) − p(x) > 0
