A line to exit the stadium begins to form as soon as R open parentheses t close parentheses reaches 300. The number of people in line at time t, for a less or equal than t less or equal than 50, is given by Q open parentheses t close parentheses equals integral subscript a superscript t open parentheses R open parentheses x close parentheses minus 300 close parentheses space italic d x, where a is the time when a line first begins to form. To the nearest whole number, find the greatest number of people in line to exit the stadium in the time interval a less or equal than t less or equal than 50. Justify your answer.

A graph with two connected shapes: an semicircle from (-5, 0) to (-1, 0) and a line from (0, -2) to (1, 2), and a line from (1,2) to (5, -2).
Graph of f'

The function f is defined on the closed interval [-5, 5]. The graph of f to the power of apostrophe, the derivative of f, consists of two line segments and a semicircle, as shown in the figure. It is known that f open parentheses 4 close parentheses equals 2.

Find f open parentheses 0 close parentheses and f open parentheses negative 5 close parentheses.
