**** 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 -->

f(x)=x^2+y^2=25 dx/dt=8

f'(x)=2xdx/dt+2ydy/dt=0

plug in (3,4)

dy/dt=-6

b) (4,3) dy/dt= -2

same deriv, plug in (4,3)

dx/dt=1.5

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 -->

v=4/3pir^3

v'=4pir^2(dr/dt)

dr/dt=2in/min

plug in r=6, dr/dt=2

v'(6)=904 in/min

v'(24)=14476 in/min

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.. **
