A function has the following properties:
and , for
Which of the following is a possible graph of ?
Graph the function . The first and second derivative are given.
Graph the given classical curve using analytical methods.

In a computer simulation, a drone is programmed to always fly directly towards a moving target. The target moves north from a specific point at a constant speed of unit per time step. The drone starts its pursuit units east of the starting point of the target, moving at a speed of unit per time step. The path followed by the drone is given by the equation . For a simulation where , what is the -coordinate of the drone's position when units? Also, plot the graph for .
The first derivative of a continuous function is . Find the second derivative of and sketch the general shape of its graph.
