Age at First Tumor You are a dermatologist studying the relationship between sun exposure and skin cancer. You survey all your patients with skin cancer about their sun exposure over the past 5 years. You observe the following relationship between solar exposure (measured in amount of time in the sun normalized from 0: no time to 1: full-time exposure) and their age when they developed cancer. 70 60 50 30 20 10 0 0.0 0.2 0.4 Duration of Solar Exposure (normalized) A. Take the derivative 0.6 df (x) dx O 0.8 20 00 0 2002 00 1.0 f(x) = = 70 - 15x - 20x² You want to tell your patients how much increasing solar exposure will in- crease their risk of skin cancer. Poll 1: df (x) will be dx a polynomial of degree: A. 0 B. 1 C. 2 Poll 2: We need to use the: A. Power rule B. Chain rule C. product rule
