    Suppose we wish to find a root of y = f (x), shown above, using Newton’s Method. Begin with an initial
    approximation of x1 = 0.3.

    (a) The line tangent to f at x = 0.3 is y = −3.1+3x/5. What is the value of the second approximation

    (b) Copy the graph into your test booklet. Sketch the tangent lines used to find x2 and x3 , the second
    and third approximations, respectively.
    3. (10 points) Express the following sums in sigma notation, then evaluate the sums.
    (a) S = 3 + 7 + 11 + 15 + · · · + 799
    (b) S = 1 + 8 + 27 + 64 + · · · + 1,000,000

    (a) An antiderivative of function g(x) is csc2 x + sin x. Find g(x).
    (b) On the moon a pebble was dropped off a cliff and hit the ground with a speed of 4 m/sec. If the
    acceleration due to gravity on the moon is −1.6 m/sec2 , what is the height of the cliff?

    5. (15 points)
    (a) Sketch the graph of y = 1 + sin x on [0, 2π].

    dS 200 ft

    x dR
    Q P

    Lucy is standing at one corner of a snowy rectangular field that measures 200 ft by 200 ft. She wishes to
    reach a warm hut located at the diagonally opposite corner of the field. Suppose Lucy trudges through
    the snow at 3 ft/sec to reach point P at the other side of the field, and then walks the remaining distance
    along a paved road at 5 ft/sec to reach the hut. What is the optimal point P that will allow Lucy to reach
    the hut as quickly as possible? (Refer to the diagram shown above.)
    Let point Q represent the corner directly opposite Lucy at the other side of the field.
    Let x represent the distance from Q to P .

    (a) Let dS represent the distance that Lucy walks through snow.
    Let dR represent the distance that Lucy walks along the paved road.
    Find expressions for dS and dR in terms of x.
    (b) Let tS represent the time Lucy spends walking through snow.
    Let tR represent the time Lucy spends walking along the paved road.
    Find expressions for tS and tR in terms of x.
    (c) Now find the value of x that will minimize the total time T = tS + tR .
