point x = pi/3.

Some answers to the quiz (November 5)
1. A spherical ball 8" in diameter is coated woth a layer of ice
of uniform thinkness. If the ice melts at a rate of 10 cubic inches per minute,
how fast is the thinkness of the the ice decreasing with it is 2" think?
Let x be the thinkness of the ice. The radius of the iron ball is 4, so
that the total volume is:
V = (4/3) pi (x + 4)^3
Differentiating gives:
dV/dt = 4 pi (x + 4)^2 dx/dt
Plugging in numbers:
-10 = 4 pi (2 + 4) ^2 dx/dt
or
-10/(4 pi 36) = dx/dt
3. A balloon is 200 ft off the ground and raising vertically at a constant
rate of 15 ft/sec.. An automobile passes beneath it traveling at 66 ft/sec.
How fast is the distance between them changing 1 second later?
Let r be the distance between them, h the height of the balloon, and x
the distance the car travels. Then
r^2 = h^2 + x^2
Differentiating,
2 r dr/dt = 2 h dh/dt + 2 x dx/dt
One second later x = 66, h = 200 + 14 = 215, so r = Sqrt(215^2 + 66^2).
Plugging in numbers gives:
2 Sqrt(215^2 + 66^2) dr/dt = 2 215 15 + 2 66 66 or
dr/dt = (6450 + 8712)/ (2 Sqrt(215^2 + 66^2))
which is about 33.7

Some solutions to quiz #3:
Solution:
Take f(g(x)) = x, and differentiate useing the chain rule, giving:
f'(g(x)) g'(x) = 1
But f'(junk) = f(junk), so:
f(g(x)) g'(x) = 1
Using f(g(x)) = x, we get:
x g'(x) = 1
Giving g'(x) = 1/x.
V = (4/3) pi r^3, so differentiating with respect to t, we get:
dV/dt = 4 pi r^2 dr/dt.
Plugging in r = 5, and dr/dt = 4, we get the answer
dV/dt = 4 pi 5^2 4
= 400 pi
Differentiating the euqation gives:
2 x y^2 + 2 x^2 y dy/dx + y + x dy/dx = 0.
Solve for dy/dt, giving:
- 2 x y^2 - y
dy/dt = --------------
2x^2y + x
Plug in x = 1, y = 2 and get:
- 2 1 2^2 - 2
dy/dt = --------------
2 1^2 2 + 1
= -10/5 = -2
So slope of the normal is -1/(-2) = 1/2.
Equation is therefore (y-2) = (1/2) (x-1)
Solution: We compute the limit:
(3(x + h))^(1/2) - (3x)^(1/2)
lim ---------------------------
h->0 h
Multiply the numerator and denominator by (3(x + h))^(1/2) + (3x)^(1/2):
(3(x + h))^(1/2) - (3x)^(1/2) (3(x + h))^(1/2) + (3x)^(1/2)
lim --------------------------- --------------------------- =
h->0 h (3(x + h))^(1/2) + (3x)^(1/2)
(3(x + h)) - (3x)
lim ------------------------------ =
h->0 h (3x + h)^(1/2) + (3x)^(1/2)
3h
lim ------------------------------ =
h->0 h (3x + h)^(1/2) + (3x)^(1/2)
3
lim ------------------------------ =
h->0 (3x + h)^(1/2) + (3x)^(1/2)
3
------------------------ =
(3x)^(1/2) + (3x)^(1/2)
3
------------- =
2(3x)^(1/2)
Solutions:
a) 4 x^3 sin(x) + x^4 cos(x)
b) (4 x^3 + 6 x^2 + 4) (3x^2+x^6) - (x^4 + 2 x^3 + 4 x)(6x + 6 x^5)
------------------------------------------------------------------
(3x^2+x^6)^2
c) (4 x^3 + 6 x^2 + 4)(sin(x) + 42) - x^4 + 2 x^3 + 4 x)(cos(x))
-------------------------------------------------------------
(sin(x) + 42)^2
Solution: Let f(x) = sin(x)/6x, therefore the tangent line goes through
the point x = pi/3, y = f(pi/3) = Sqrt(3)/2.
f'(x) = cos(x) 6 x - 6 sin(x)
---------------------
(6x)^2
So f'(pi/3) = (1/4 pi) - (3/4) Sqrt(3)/pi^2
So we get
y - Sqrt(3)/2
-------------- = (1/4 pi) - (3/4) Sqrt(3)/pi^2
x - pi/3
This can be simplified, if you like.

General comments: I realize that some of you all
have have calculus before. This is a good, right and proper thing,
and my sister Mary mmorley@ets.org
would approve. There will be considerable overlap between AP calculus
and this course. But the pupose of this course is not the same as AP
calculus:
