1

Two halves of a ride

school
A cyclist rides 30 km at 20 km/h, then another 30 km at 30 km/h. What is her average speed for the whole ride, in km/h?
2

A limit in disguise

school
lim⁡h→012+h−12h\lim_{h\to 0} \dfrac{\frac{1}{2+h} - \frac{1}{2}}{h}
3

Where the tangent lands

school

The tangent to y=x3y = x^3 at x = 1 is extended until it meets the x-axis. At what x does it meet it?

4

The lowest point

school

What is the smallest value of f(x)=2x3−3x2−12xf(x) = 2x^3 - 3x^2 - 12x for x between 0 and 3?

5

Split twelve

high school

Two positive numbers x and y add up to 12. What is the largest possible value of x y2x\,y^2?

6

A spreading circle

high school
A circle's area grows at 10π cm² per second. How fast is its radius growing when the radius is 5 cm, in cm per second?
7

A cube root by hand

high school
Use the tangent line to y = ∛x at x = 8 to estimate ∛8.12. Give two decimal places.
8

An area without strips

high school
∫02(3x2+1) dx\int_0^2 \left(3x^2 + 1\right)\,dx
9

The average height

high school

What is the average value of x2x^2 for x from 0 to 3?

10

A growing culture

high school
A culture grows at a rate proportional to its size. It goes from 100 cells to 300 cells in 2 hours. How many cells are there after 6 hours?
