2.6.12 2d der of -4/(t+2)^2

What is the second derivative of your function and how did you get it?

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

RESPONSE -->

f(x) = -4 / (t = 2)^2

g(x) = t + 2 g'(x) = 1

f(x) = 4 / x^2 f'(x) = 4 / 2x

f'(x) = 4 / 2(t + 2)

f''(x) = 1/2

You need to use the Constant Rule. [ -4(t+2)^-2 ] ' = -4 [ (t+2)^-2 ] '

By the chain rule, with g(z) = z^-2 and h(t) = t + 1 this gives us -4 [ h '(t) * g ' ( h(t) ] =

-4 [ (t+2) ' * -2(t+2)^-3 ] = -8 ( t+2)^-3.

So g ' (t) = -8 ( t+2)^-3.

Using the same procedure on g ' (t) we obtain

g '' (t) = 24 ( t + 2)^-4. **

The fourth derivative f '''' is equal to the derivative of the third derivative. So we have

f '''' = (f ''') ' = [ 2 sqrt(x-1) ] ' = 2 [ sqrt(x-1) ] '.

Using the Chain Rule (noting that our function is sqrt(z) with z = x - 1, and that sqrt(z) ' = 1 / (2 sqrt(z) ) we get

2 [ (x-1)' * 1/(2 sqrt(x-1) ) ] = 2 [ 1 * 1/(2 sqrt(x-1) ) ] = 1 / sqrt(x-1). **

The detailed analysis is as follows:

The equation comes from a = -32; since a = v' we have v' = -32 so that v = -32 t + c. Then s' = v so s' = -32 t + c and s = -16 t^2 + c t + k. c and k are constants.

If s(t) = -16 t^2 + c t + k and at t = 0 we have s = 1250, then

s(0) = -16 * 0^2 + c * 0 + k so k = 1250 and s(t) = -16 t^2 + c t + 1250.

If the ball is dropped from rest then the initial velocity is v(0) = 0 so

v(0) = -32 t + c = 0 and -32 * 0 + c = 0 so c = 0.

So s(t) = -16 t^2 + c t + k becomes s(t) = -16 t^2 + 1250.

To find how long it takes to hit the sidewalk:

Position function, which gives altitude, is y = -16 t^2 + 1250.

When the brick hits the sidewalk its altitude is zero.

So -16 t^2 + 1250 = 0, and t = + - `sqrt(1250 / 16) = + - 8.8, approx.

The negative value makes no sense, so t = 8.8 seconds.

To find how fast the brick was moving when it hit the sidewalk:

velocity = -32 t so when t = 8.8 we have velocity = -32 * 8.8 = -280 approx.

That is, when t = 8.8 sec, v = -280 ft/sec. **

The derivative of x^2 with respect to x is 2 x.

The derivative of y^3 with respect to x is 3 y^2 dy/dx. You can see this by realizing that since y is implicitly a function of x, y^3 is a composite function: inner function is y(x), outer function f(z) = z^3. So the derivative is y'(x) * 3 * f(y(x)) = dy/dx * 3 * y^3.

So the derivative of the equation is

2 x - 3 y^3 dy/dx = 0, giving

3 y^2 dy/dx = 2 x so

dy/dx = 2 x / ( 3 y^2).

At (2,1), we have x = 2 and y = 1 so

dy/dx = 2 * 2 / (3 * 1^2) = 4/3. **

The derivative of the equation is

2 x - 3 y^2 dy/dx = 0. Solving for dy/dx we get

dy/dx = 2x / (3 y^2).

At (-1,1) we have x = 1 and y = 1 so at this point

dy/dx = 2 * -1 / (3 * 1^2) = -2/3. **

You could apply implicit differentiation to the present form, and that would work but it would be fairly messy.

You have lots of choices for valid ways to rewrite the equation but I would recommend squaring both sides and getting rid of denominators. You get

p^2 = (500-x) / (2x) so

2x p^2 = 500-x and

2x p^2 + x - 500 = 0.

You want dx/dp so take the derivative with respect to p:

2x * 2p + 2 dx/dp * p^2 - dx / dp = 0

(2 p^2 - 1) dx/dp = - 4 x p

dx / dp = -4 x p / (2p^2 - 1) **

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

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.. **
