2. Complete each statement. (1 mark each)

a) Another name for the price function is the ________________.

b) The marginal revenue function is found by _______________ the revenue function.

c) The acceleration function is found by differentiating the position function _______________.

d) An object is moving in the negative direction when _______________.

e) To determine if an object is slowing down or speeding up, determine the sign of the product of _______________.

f) To find the points on a curve where the tangent line is horizontal, solve _______________.

Explanation / Answer

Solution:- a) Another name for the price function is the inverse demand function .

b) The marginal revenue function is found by Differentiating the revenue function.

c) The acceleration function is found by differentiating the position function Twice ot two times.

d) An object is moving in the negative direction when its derivative is < 0.
e) To determine if an object is slowing down or speeding up, determine the sign of the product of  when velocity and acceleration are both positive or both negative, the speed is increasing. so the sign must be poisitive (+) .
f) To find the points on a curve where the tangent line is horizontal, solve dy/dx =0 that is tangent line is horizontal when f'(x)= 0
