Revision 2
Question 1 An indoor swimming pool can hold at most 100 people. With the ticket price at
$10, the average attendance is 50 people. A market survey indicates that for every dollar the
ticket price is lowered, attendance increases by 10. Likewise, for every dollar the ticket price is
increased, attendance lowers by 10.
(a) Find a function that models the revenue in terms of ticket price.
(b) What is the minimum ticket price so that the swimming pool is not overcrowded.
(c) Find the price that maximizes revenue from ticket sales.
(d) What ticket price is considered to be too high to generate any revenue?
Question 2 The graphs of f and g functions are given. Find a formula for the function g .
Question 3
(a) Given that L = limx→0 sinx x exists. Use a table of suitable values to estimate L.
(b) Based on your estimation in (a), calculate the limit
x tan x
lim .
x→0 1 − cos x
Question 4 Sketch the graph of f . Use your graph to determine the values of a for which
limx→a f (x) exists. Find the numbers at which f is discontinuous. At which of these numbers is
f continuous from the right, from the left, or neither?

x if x ≤ 1,
(a) f (x) = 3−x if 1 < x ≤ 4,
√x + 1 if x > 4.
