2. Find the points on the curve y = 2x3 − 3x2 − 12x + 20 where the tangent is
(a) perpendicular to the line y = 1 − ( x/24).
(b) parallel to the line y = 22 − 12x.
3. (4 points) The figure here shows two right circular cones, one upside down inside the
other. The two bases are parallel, and the vertex of the smaller cone lies at the center
of the larger cone’s base. What values of r and h will give the smaller cone the largest
possible volume?
4. (4 points) Find the average value of the function graphed in the accompanying figure.
