17. (6 pts) Find the antiderivative F(x) of each function. a)    b)

18. (4 pts) Function f(x) is graphed below.     For each statement, say whether it is true or false. Then, explain briefly why you chose your answer. a) This function is differentiable at

PLEASE READ: Here, again, is the link to the Desmos scientific calculator. If an equation doesn’t show up correctly, write down the problem as best you can and solve it. I’ll view your Honorlock session to see what you experienced, then will grade on how you solved the problem you wrote down. If an image is broken, note that on your paper and skip the problem. I’ll view your Honorlock session to verify, then set up a meeting with you to work the problem. When simplifying expressions, you do not have to expand products of polynomials. For example, (7×9 + 3)2  can be left as-is. DO: Collect and simplify like terms Multiply coefficients or variable expressions with the same base (for example, simplify x5 * x3 to x8). You can leave in negative and fractional exponents unless otherwise indicated in a problem.

9. Let     a) (3 pts) Find a linear approximation L(x) for f(x) near x = 9. b) (1 pt) Use your linear approximation to estimate the value of    . Round to 4 places after the decimal. c) (2 pts) Explain why your linear approximation from part a would NOT be a good way to estimate   . Include a drawing in your answer.

The assembly of vertically integrated health systems that link hospitals, nursing homes, home care, and other services along with the diversification of health providers into various health-related ventures all reflect the privatization of health care.

A registered nurse (RN) can be trained in a(n):

Answer one of the questions below: 1) Technical advances in health care have spawned increasing numbers of specialty-trained personnel. More recently, however, hospitals and other institutions are promoting the cross-training of personnel so that they can perform multiple tasks and work more flexibly, based on needs of the institution. What are the implications of cross training, in terms of quality of care, costs, and efficiency? OR 2) Various kinds of health professionals—for example, physicians, nurses, dentists, and allied health professionals—are educated in separate schools but with considerable overlap in curricula and training requirements. They are, however, expected to integrate their training and work collaboratively. Identify the advantages and disadvantages of this approach to professional education in terms of costs, educational efficiency and patient care quality.

Which of the following fall into the category of allied health personnel?
