Question 5: Derivatives and Antiderivatives, the Graphical Expression



This is a Non-Calculator Question!

Part 1:

This question consists of two parts, one part is a first and second derivative graphing question. The second part of the question is a matching game, where their are 4 antiderivative or derivative functions which through the process of their graph shapes you must pinpoint that graph in the five graphs that are given, one graph remains with no pair in the end.

Part 2:
Consists of 4 functions and 5 graphs, in which contestants must match all of the corresponding functions with their respective graphs. Leaving one graph unpaired.


Question 4: Exponential Rates and Normalville





Presently in the town of Normalville, there is a deepening concern. The town is at a brink of having to redevelop a new part of town. For every four new citizens that the Normalville population increases, the town miust build a new house. The town has not built any homes in the last five years as they do not know how many citizens have moved into Normalville.
