Use the graph in #7 to state True or False. If True, explain your reasoning. If False,
correct the mathematical statement.

9. f(-2) = 0


10. f(2) < 0


11. f is decreasing on (-, -2).


12. f is an even function.


Mathematical Modeling:

A rectangular piece of sheet metal is rolled and riveted to form a circular tube that is open at both
ends, as shown. The sheet metal has a perimeter of 36 inches. Each of the two sides of the
rectangle that form the two ends of the tube has a length of x inches, but the tube has a
circumference of x - 1 inches because an overlap of 1 inch is needed for the rivets. Write a
volume function for the tube in terms of x. Then, to the nearest tenth, find the value of x that
maximizes the volume of the tube.
