Preface
These test items were designed to accompany Calculus: Concepts and Contexts, 4th Edition
by James Stewart. As in the previous editions the test items offer both multiple choice and free
response formats and approach the Calculus from four viewpoints: Descriptive, Algebraic, Numeric
and Graphic. These items are designed to help instructors assess both student manipulative skills
and conceptual understanding. It is our hope that you will find enough variety in item difficulty,
approach and application areas to allow you substantial flexibility in designing examinations and
quizzes that meet the needs of you and your students.
This project could not have been completed without the assistance of several associates. We
would especially like to thank Jessie Lenarz for her work related to page layout and design and her
careful checking. We would like to thank Jeannine Lawless for her patience, support and encour-
agement throughout this writing process. As in previous editions we express our sincere thanks to
James Stewart for providing us with the opportunity to be part of one of his projects. Finally, we
extend our deepest gratitude to Lois and Wentong, two spouses who have been incredibly support-
ive as we carried out the work involved in a project as time-intensive as this one.

14. A homeowner mowed her lawn on June 1, cutting it to a uniform height of 3′′. She mowed
the lawn at one-week intervals after that until she left for a vacation on June 30. A local lawn

grow more rapidly. She returned from her vacation on July 13 to find that the neighborhood
boy whom she had hired to mow the lawn while she was away had indeed mowed on June 22
and on June 29, but had forgotten to mow on July 6. Sketch a possible graph of the height

(a) Make a scatter plot for the data and use your scatter plot to determine a mathematical
model of the U.S. population.
(b) Use your model to predict the U.S. population in 2005.
Answer:
(a)
Answers will vary, but a quadratic or cubic model is most appropriate.
Linear model: P (t) = 1.28545t − 40.47668; quadratic model: P (t) = 0.006666t2 −
0.1144t + 5.9; cubic model: P (t) = (6.6365 × 10−6) t3 + 0.004575t2 + 0.057155t + 3.7;
exponential model: P (t) = 6.04852453 × 1.020407795t

8. Refer to your models from Problems 6 and 7 above. Why do the two data sets produce such
different models?
Answer: Problem 6 covers a much shorter time span, so its data exhibit local linearity, while
Problem 7 shows nonlinear population growth over a longer time span.
