[1]	(a)(1 point) If f(x) = 1 3 x3 - 9x + 2 ,   then find f '(x) by entering integers (like 5, 0, or -2) in the blanks below:
	f '(x) = x3 + x2 + x +
Review rules for derivatives??
	(b)(2 pts) Find both CVs (critical values) for f(x) in [1a] above. Then test each CV by entering numbers (not just +/- signs) in the 5 empty boxes of the table below. Scoring: one point for each correct table row
	(c)(2 pts) Using the values of f '(x) you entered in the table below, name the type of CV (max, min, or ledge) in the bottom table row below. Scoring: one point for each correct type of CV.

	A baseball card store can obtain "Babe Garfield" cards at a cost of $5 per card, and has been selling them at a rate of 50 cards per month for a price of $9. The store is planning to change the card price, and estimates that for each $0.50 per card reduction, 10 more cards will be sold each month. At what price per card will the store owner maximize his/her profit?
	[2a](2 points) For the problem in the box above, choose the best definitions of x and P for translating the words into mathematics. Vague English gets less credit ; thus, "Let x = number of apples John should buy" is better than "Let x = apples". Note : on paper tests, student must write definitions rather than choose among options.
	Let x = number of baseball cards sold Let P = price of each baseball card Let x = baseball cards Let P = profit Let x = number of price reductions Let P = price of baseball cards sold Let x = price of each baseball card Let P = profit on all baseball cards sold Let x = number of baseball cards sold Let P = profit on all baseball cards sold Let x = cost of each baseball card Let P = price of each baseball card See an example of this kind of problem ??
	[2b](3 points) Enter integers below (such as 3, 0, or -2), expressing the relationship between the "x" and "P" you defined above. The correct solution to [2b] must use the definitions of x and P from [2a] above, not some other (perhaps unlisted) choice which you might have preferred. If you (incorrectly) thought P = (10 - x)(x + 2), then you would enter "-1", "8", and "20" in the boxes below.
	P(x) = x2 + x +
