`qNote that there are 7 questions in this assignment.

`q001. If the water and a certain cylinder is changing depth at a rate of -4 cm/sec at the t = 20 second instant, at which instant the depth is 80 cm, then approximately what do you expect the depth will be at the t = 21 second instant?

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

RESPONSE -->

If the rate is -4cm/sec and the change in time is one second then it will drop 4 cm in one second.

Therefore, at the second instant, 21seconds, the depth will be 76 cm.

At a rate of -4 cm/s, for the 1-second interval between t = 20 s and t = 21 s the change in depth would be -4 cm/s * 1 sec = -4 cm. If the depth was 80 cm at t = 20 sec, the depth at t = 21 sec would be 80 cm - 4 cm/ = 76 cm.

ok

`q002. Using the same information, what the you expect the depth will be depth at the t = 30 sec instant? Do you think this estimate is more or less accurate than the estimate you made for the t = 21 second instant?

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

RESPONSE -->

change in t = 30-20 = 10sec.

orig. depth = 80

rate = 4cm/sec

change in depth = 4cm/sec * 10 sec

The estimated depth = 40cm

I think this estimate may be a little less accurate because the time difference is much greater.

At - 4 cm/s, during the 10-second interval between t = 20 sec and t = 30 sec we would expect a depth change of -4 cm/sec * 10 sec = -40 cm, which would result in a t = 30 sec depth of 80 cm - 40 cm = 40 cm.

ok

`q003. If you know that the depth in the preceding example is changing at the rate of -3 cm/s at the t = 30 sec instant, how will this change your estimate for the depth at t = 30 seconds--i.e., will your estimate be the same as before, will you estimate a greater change in depth or a lesser change in depth?

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

RESPONSE -->

It wil be a lesser change in depth because the change in depth is a whole cm/sec. different.

the rate of change = -3cm/sec.

change in time = 10sec

-30cm/sec * 10 sec. = -30cm

80cm - 30cm = 50cm difference in the same time period as the previous question with the rate of -4cm/sec.

Since the rate of depth change has changed from -4 cm / s at t = 20 s to -3 cm / s at t = 30 s, we conclude that the depth probably wouldn't change as much has before.

ok

`q004. What is your specific estimate of the depth at t = 30 seconds?

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

RESPONSE -->

as solved and answered in the previous question..

the estimated depth will be 50cm with the rate of -3cm/sec.

Knowing that at t = 20 sec the rate is -4 cm/s, and at t = 30 sec the rate is -3 cm/s, we could reasonably conjecture that the approximate average rate of change between these to clock times must be about -3.5 cm/s. Over the 10-second interval between t = 20 s and t = 30 s, this would result in a depth change of -3.5 cm/s * 10 sec = -35 cm, and a t = 30 s depth of 80 cm - 35 cm = 45 cm.

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

RESPONSE -->

ok now i see that i should have taken the average rate to get the closest estimated depth.

`q005. If we have a uniform cylinder with a uniformly sized hole from which water is leaking, so that the quadratic model is very nearly a precise model of what actually happens, then the prediction that the depth will change and average rate of -3.5 cm/sec is accurate. This is because the rate at which the water depth changes will in this case be a linear function of clock time, and the average value of a linear function between two clock times must be equal to the average of its values at those to clock times.

If y is the function that tells us the depth of the water as a function of clock time, then we let y ' stand for the function that tells us the rate at which depth changes as a function of clock time.

If the rate at which depth changes is accurately modeled by the linear function y ' = .1 t - 6, with t in sec and y in cm/s, verify that the rates at t = 20 sec and t = 30 sec are indeed -4 cm/s and -3 cm/s.

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

RESPONSE -->

y' = .1t - 6

-4cm/ sec. = .1 * 20 sec. - 6

-4 = -4

-3cm/ sec. = .1 * 30 sec. - 6

-3 = -3

19:54:30

At t = 20 sec, we evaluate y ' to obtain y ' = .1 ( 20 sec) - 6 = 2 - 6 = -4, representing -4 cm/s.

At t = 30 sec, we evaluate y' to obtain y' = .1 ( 30 sec) - 6 = 3 - 6 = -3, representing -3 cm/s.

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

RESPONSE -->

ok I did this correctly

`q006. For the rate function y ' = .1 t - 6, at what clock time does the rate of depth change first equal zero?

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

RESPONSE -->

y ' = .1 t - 6

y' = 0

so,

0 = .1t - 6

6 = .1t

t = 60 sec.

confidence assessment: 3

.................................................

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

19:56:08

The rate of depth change is first equal to zero when y ' = .1 t - 6 = 0. This equation is easily solved to see that t = 60 sec.

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

RESPONSE -->

ok

19:57:57

`q007. How much depth change is there between t = 20 sec and the time at which depth stops changing?

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

RESPONSE -->

y' = .1(60) - 6 = 0

y' = .1(20) - 6 = -4

change in depth = -4 cm

confidence assessment: 3

.................................................

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

19:58:25

The rate of depth change at t = 20 sec is - 4 cm/s; at t = 60 sec the rate is 0 cm/s. The average rate at which depth changes during this 40-second interval is therefore the average of -4 cm/s and 0 cm/s, or -2 cm/s.

At an average rate of -2 cm/s for 40 s, the depth change will be -80 cm. Starting at 80 cm when t = 20 sec, we see that the depth at t = 60 is therefore 80 cm - 80 cm = 0.

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

RESPONSE -->

ok
