**** Query 2.8.4 dy/dt for (3,4) with x'=8; dx/dt for (4,3) with y'=-2 **** What is dy/dt if x=3, y=4 and dx/dt = 8?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

x^2 + y^2 = 25

a) I must solve for dy/dt and I am given point (3,4) and dx/dt = 8

First I use implicit differentiation.

d/dt[x^2 + y^2] = d/dt[25]

2x dx/dt + 2y dy/dt = 0

2y dy/dt = -2x dx/dt

dy/dt = (-x dx/dt) / y

Now I substitute the given values

dy/dt = -3 * 8 / 4 = -6

b) I must solve for dx/dt and I am given point (4, 3) and dy/dt = -2

d/dt[x^2 + y^2] = d/dt[25]

2x dx/dt + 2y dy/dt = 0

2x dx/dt = -2y dy/dt

dx/dt = (-y dy/dt) / x

Now I substitue the given values

dx/dt = -3 * -2 / 4 = 6/4 = 3/2

At (3,4) you are given dx/dt as x ' = 8.

Since 2x dx/dt + 2y dy/dt = 0 we have

2(3) * 8 + 2 * 4 dy/dt = 0 so

dy/dt = -48/8 = -6.

At (4,3) you are given dy/dt as y' = -2. So you get

2 * 4 dx/dt + 2 * 3 * -2 = 0 so

8 dx/dt - 12 = 0 and therefore

8 dx/dt = 12. Solving for dx/dt we get

dx/dt = 12/8 = 3/2. **

**** Query 2.8.6 roc of volume if r increases at rate 2 in/min, if r= 6 in and if r = 24 in **** What is the rate of volume change if r is increasing at 2 inches / minute?

......!!!!!!!!...................................

RESPONSE -->

First, I start with the formula for the volume of a sphere

V = (4/3)`pi r^3

Now I differentiate with respect to t

d/dt[V] = d/dt [(4/3)`pi r^3]

dV/dt = (4/3)`pi (3r^2) dr/dt

dV/dt = 4`pi r^2 dr/dt

Since r is increasing at 2 inches per minute, we know that dr/dt = 2

a) dr/dt = 2; r = 6

dV/dt = 4`pi * 6^2 * 2 = 288 `pi

b) dr/dt = 2; r = 24

dV/dt = 4`pi * 24^2 * 2 = 4608 `pi

The shape is a sphere. The volume of a sphere, in terms of its radius, is

V = 4/3 `pi r^3.

Taking the derivative with respect to t, noting that r is the only variable, we obtain

dV/dt = ( 4 `pi r^2) dr/dt

You know that r increases at a rate of 2 in / min, which means that dr/dt = 2.

Plugging in dr/dt = 2 and r = 6 gives 4 pi (6^2) * 2 = 288 pi = 904 approx.

Plugging in dr/dt = 2 and r = 24 gives 4 pi (24^2) * 2 = 4 pi (576)(2) = 4608 pi = 14,476 approx.. **
