3. Attach complete code, results, and screenshot for questions that require programming
solution. Programs/codes should not be handwritten.

4. Questions with icon require partial or complete solution using the approved
programming tool.

Question 1
A lab technician controls the temperature T inside a kiln. From an initial temperature of 0
degrees Celsius, he allows the temperature to increase by 2 degrees Celsius per minute for the
next 60 minutes. After the 60th minute, he allows the temperature to cool by 3 degrees Celsius
per minute. If t is the number of minutes, write the function for temperature T and find
continuity of the function T at 𝑡 = 60𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑢𝑡𝑒𝑠.

Question 2
In New York City, taxicabs charge passengers $2.50 for entering a cab and then $0.50 for each
one-fifth of a mile (or fraction thereof) traveled. There are additional charges for slow traffic
and idle times, but these are not considered in this problem. If x represents the distance traveled
in miles, then write a function 𝐶(𝑥) that represent the cost of the taxi fare.
Sketch the graph of 𝐶 using MATLAB. Using this graph of the fare function, find each of the
following limits, if it exists.
i) a) lim − 𝐶(𝑥) b) lim + 𝐶(𝑥) c) lim 𝐶(𝑥)

b) What relative humidity produces a heat index of 830 𝐹?
c) Is the heat index function 𝐼(ℎ) continuous at ℎ = 40? What about at ℎ = 80?

Question 11
A farmer wants to build a closed cylindrical reservoir with a capacity of 11,000 cubic feet. The
farmer has decided to use two different materials: one for the top, and the other for the bottom
