Tuesday, November 20:  Today is a blizzard bag day.  So, first, our brownie bakeoff will obviously need to be rescheduled.  This will not be Monday after Thanksgiving - sorry, but I promise we will reschedule! Your blizzard bag for today is to find where the relative extrema exist and where the points of inflection occur for the following functions:
1)  y = x(3-x)^(1/2)    
sorry for the poor mathematical notation this is x times the square root of 3-x
2)  y = x^2 - 1/x
x squared minus one over x
3)  y = 2x + 3x^(2/3)
two times x plus 3 times x raised to the 2/3 power
4) y = x^2 / (x^2 - 1)
x squared divided by the quantity x squared minus 1
x squared minus one is in the denominator

Make sure you have this completed and ready to hand in on Monday, November 26.  If you have questions, email me today (Tuesday).

Have a nice Thanksgiving!
