A food scientist stores fresh meat in a refrigerator to slow bacterial growth. Which environmental factor is primarily being manipulated?

Which method is considered a direct measurement of microbial growth?

Which microbial control method destroys all microorganisms, including bacterial endospores?

Give the RMIN and RMAX for the function f(x)=x+16x  . Give both the x and y value as an ordered pair. If none exist, list “none” for both x and y.  RMIN=([BLANK-1], [BLANK-2])  and RMAX= ([BLANK-3], [BLANK-4])

Match each function to it’s point of inflection. If the graph has no point of inflection, select “none”. 

Find the location and value of all relative extrema for the function.  

Determine all intervals on which the function is increasing.  y=2×3-12×2+18x+3 (Choose all that apply)

Find the points of any relative extrema for f(x) = x3 – 3×2 + 1

Identify the location(s) of the Absolute Maximum for the given graph.

Decide if the given value of x is a critical number for f, and if so, decide whether the point for x on f is a relative minimum, relative maximum, or neither. f(x) = (x2 – 6)(2x – 3); x = 1/2
