Use Polya's four-step problem-solving strategy and the problem-solving procedures presented in this lesson to solve the following exercise. Find the following sums without using a calculator or a formula. Hint: Apply the procedure used by Gauss. (See the Math Matters on page 31.) (a) 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + . . . + 397 + 398 + 399 + 400 (b) 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + . . . + 542 + 543 + 544 + 545 (c) 2 + 4 + 6 + 8 + . . . + 72 + 74 + 76 + 78

Which ratio is equivalent to 10: 85

For f(x)=2x+3 and g(x)=x^2- 8 find (f+g) (x)

Does the function satisfy the hypotheses of the mean value theorem on the given interval? f(x) = 4x^2 + 3x + 4, [−1, 1] no, f is continuous on [−1, 1] but not differentiable on (−1, 1). no, f is not continuous on [−1, 1]. yes, f is continuous on [−1, 1] and differentiable on (−1, 1) since polynomials are continuous and differentiable on . there is not enough information to verify if this function satisfies the mean value theorem. yes, it does not matter if f is continuous or differentiable; every function satisfies the mean value theorem.
