Considering reflects marginal cost per unit where represents total cost to produce units, what impact does multiplying by constant have on ?
Has no effect on total costs since only marginal costs are increased but intervals stay constant.
Results in reduced total cost up to units due to decreased marginal costs.
Reduces slope increase per unit leading to flatter overall growth for .
Multiplies each incremental cost addition by resulting in steeper overall cost curve .
If the density of a solid object is constant, what does represent when integrating along its length from point to ?
Volume of the solid object.
Mass of the solid object.
Length of the solid object.
Surface area of the solid object.
For the piecewise-defined function defined by for and for , where would you expect to potentially lack differentiability?
No lack of differentiability as long as matches with when .
At due to an undefined expression within the integrand.
At because might not have a defined derivative there due to differing definitions.
For all since the integral involves division by zero within its limits.

If the function represents the rate of water flow into a tank in gallons per minute, what does represent?
The average rate of water flow during the first 10 minutes.
The total amount of water in the tank after some time has passed since it might not be empty initially.
The rate of water flow at exactly 10 minutes.
The total amount of water that flows into the tank during the first 10 minutes.
What can be concluded if for continuous derivative function ?
Graph traversed equal areas above below axis so their sum cancels out.
There was constant acceleration from Interval start until end point.
Function reached its highest & lowest points equally often within .
Function had no net change within interval .
Which geometric figure does represent the area of?
