Solution:
The area $A$ of a circle as a function of its radius $r$ is given by the geometric formula: $$A = \pi r^2$$ [Per the definition of the area of a circle in Euclidean geometry]
To find the rate of change of the area with respect to the radius, we calculate the derivative $\frac{dA}{dr}$. Using the Power Rule for differentiation, $\frac{d}{dx}(x^n) = nx^{n-1}$:
$$\frac{dA}{dr} = \frac{d}{dr}(\pi r^2)$$ $$\frac{dA}{dr} = \pi \cdot \frac{d}{dr}(r^2)$$ $$\frac{dA}{dr} = \pi \cdot (2r)$$ $$\frac{dA}{dr} = 2\pi r$$ [By the Power Rule of differentiation]We are required to evaluate the rate of change at $r = 6$ cm. Substituting the value into the derived expression:
$$\left. \frac{dA}{dr} \right|_{r=6} = 2 \cdot \pi \cdot 6$$ $$\left. \frac{dA}{dr} \right|_{r=6} = 12\pi$$Since the area $A$ is measured in $\text{cm}^2$ and the radius $r$ is measured in $\text{cm}$, the units of the rate of change $\frac{dA}{dr}$ are:
$$\text{Units} = \frac{\text{unit}(A)}{\text{unit}(r)} = \frac{\text{cm}^2}{\text{cm}} = \text{cm}$$Thus, the final value is $12\pi \text{ cm}^2/\text{cm}$, which simplifies to $12\pi \text{ cm}$.
Final Solution: The rate of change of the area of the circle with respect to its radius at $r = 6$ cm is $12\pi \text{ cm}$.
Solution:
The area $A$ of a circle as a function of its radius $r$ is given by the formula: $A = \pi r^2$ [Per the geometric definition of the area of a circle].
We are required to find the rate of change of the area $A$ with respect to the radius $r$. Mathematically, this is expressed as the derivative $\frac{dA}{dr}$. To find this, we differentiate $A$ with respect to $r$: $\frac{dA}{dr} = \frac{d}{dr}(\pi r^2)$
Applying the Power Rule for differentiation, $\frac{d}{dx}(x^n) = nx^{n-1}$ [Fundamental Theorem of Calculus/Differentiation Rules]: $\frac{dA}{dr} = \pi \cdot (2r^{2-1})$ $\frac{dA}{dr} = 2\pi r$
We must evaluate the rate of change when $r = 3$ cm. Substituting $r = 3$ into the expression derived in Step 3: $\left( \frac{dA}{dr} \right)_{r=3} = 2\pi(3)$ $\left( \frac{dA}{dr} \right)_{r=3} = 6\pi$
Since the area is measured in $\text{cm}^2$ and the radius is measured in $\text{cm}$, the rate of change $\frac{dA}{dr}$ is measured in units of: $\frac{[\text{Area}]}{[\text{Radius}]} = \frac{\text{cm}^2}{\text{cm}} = \text{cm}$
Final Solution: The rate of change of the area of the circle with respect to its radius when $r = 3$ cm is $6\pi \text{ cm}^2/\text{cm}$, or simply $6\pi \text{ cm}$.
Solution:
Based on the problem statement, we define the variables and their time-dependent derivatives as follows:
The perimeter $P$ of a rectangle is given by the formula:
$P = 2(x + y)$
[By the geometric definition of a rectangle perimeter]
To find the rate of change of the perimeter, we differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to $t$ using the Chain Rule [Per the derivative operator properties]:
$\frac{dP}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt} [2(x + y)]$
$\frac{dP}{dt} = 2 \left( \frac{dx}{dt} + \frac{dy}{dt} \right)$
Substitute the given rates $\frac{dx}{dt} = -5$ and $\frac{dy}{dt} = 4$ into the derived expression:
$\frac{dP}{dt} = 2 (-5 + 4)$
$\frac{dP}{dt} = 2 (-1)$
$\frac{dP}{dt} = -2 \text{ cm/min}$
The negative result signifies that the perimeter is decreasing at the specified moment. [Per the interpretation of first-order derivatives in physical applications].
Final Solution: The rate of change of the perimeter is $-2 \text{ cm/min}$, which indicates the perimeter is decreasing at a rate of $2 \text{ cm/min}$.
Solution:
In economic mathematics, the total revenue function $R(x)$ represents the total income from selling $x$ units. Marginal Revenue ($MR$) is defined as the instantaneous rate of change of the total revenue with respect to the number of units sold. Mathematically, this is the first derivative of the revenue function: $MR = \frac{dR}{dx}$ [Per the definition of Marginal Analysis in calculus].
The total revenue function is provided as: $R(x) = 3x^2 + 36x + 5$
To find the marginal revenue function $MR(x)$, we differentiate $R(x)$ with respect to $x$ using the Power Rule of differentiation, which states $\frac{d}{dx}(x^n) = nx^{n-1}$ [By the Power Rule of Calculus]:
$\frac{dR}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}(3x^2) + \frac{d}{dx}(36x) + \frac{d}{dx}(5)$
$\frac{dR}{dx} = 3(2x^{2-1}) + 36(1x^{1-1}) + 0$
$MR(x) = 6x + 36$
The question requires the calculation of marginal revenue when $x = 15$. We substitute $x = 15$ into the derived expression for $MR(x)$:
$MR(15) = 6(15) + 36$
$MR(15) = 90 + 36$
$MR(15) = 126$
The marginal revenue represents the revenue generated by selling one additional unit when 15 units have already been produced. The value $126$ indicates the slope of the revenue curve at that specific point.
Final Solution: The Marginal Revenue at $x = 15$ is ₹ 126.
Solution:
Let $V$ be the volume of the conical pile of sand, $r$ be the radius of its base, and $h$ be its height at any time $t$.
The volume $V$ of a cone is given by the formula [Geometric Formula for Volume of a Right Circular Cone]:
$V = \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h$
Substituting $r = 6h$ into the volume equation to express $V$ as a function of $h$ solely:
$V = \frac{1}{3}\pi (6h)^2 h$
$V = \frac{1}{3}\pi (36h^2) h$
$V = 12\pi h^3$
Differentiating both sides with respect to $t$ using the [Chain Rule of Calculus]:
$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt} (12\pi h^3)$
$\frac{dV}{dt} = 12\pi \cdot 3h^2 \cdot \frac{dh}{dt}$
$\frac{dV}{dt} = 36\pi h^2 \frac{dh}{dt}$
Substitute the known values $\frac{dV}{dt} = 12$ and $h = 4$ into the differentiated equation:
$12 = 36\pi (4)^2 \frac{dh}{dt}$
$12 = 36\pi (16) \frac{dh}{dt}$
$12 = 576\pi \frac{dh}{dt}$
Isolating $\frac{dh}{dt}$:
$\frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{12}{576\pi}$
Reducing the fraction by $12$:
$\frac{dh}{dt} = \frac{1}{48\pi} \text{ cm/s}$
Final Solution: The height of the sand cone is increasing at the rate of $\frac{1}{48\pi} \text{ cm/s}$ when the height is $4 \text{ cm}$.
Solution:
Based on the problem statement, we define the following variables and their temporal derivatives (rates of change with respect to time $t$):
The area $A$ of a rectangle is defined as the product of its length and width:
$A = x \cdot y$
To find the rate of change of the area with respect to time $\frac{dA}{dt}$, we apply the Product Rule of differentiation, which states that for a product of two functions $u$ and $v$, $\frac{d}{dt}(uv) = u\frac{dv}{dt} + v\frac{du}{dt}$ [Per the Leibniz Product Rule]:
$\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(x \cdot y)$
$\frac{dA}{dt} = x\left(\frac{dy}{dt}\right) + y\left(\frac{dx}{dt}\right)$
Substitute the given values into the derived differential equation:
$\frac{dA}{dt} = (8\text{ cm}) \cdot (4\text{ cm/min}) + (6\text{ cm}) \cdot (-5\text{ cm/min})$
$\frac{dA}{dt} = 32\text{ cm}^2\text{/min} - 30\text{ cm}^2\text{/min}$
$\frac{dA}{dt} = 2\text{ cm}^2\text{/min}$
Final Solution: The area of the rectangle is increasing at the rate of $2\text{ cm}^2\text{/min}$.
Solution:
An air bubble is assumed to be spherical in shape. The volume $V$ of a sphere with radius $r$ is given by the formula:
$V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$ [Geometric formula for the volume of a sphere]
From the problem statement, we have the following:
To find the rate of change of volume, we differentiate $V$ with respect to time $t$ using the Chain Rule [Per the Chain Rule for differentiation, $\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{dV}{dr} \cdot \frac{dr}{dt}$]:
$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \right)$
$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{4}{3} \pi \cdot (3r^2) \cdot \frac{dr}{dt}$ [By the Power Rule $\frac{d}{dx}x^n = nx^{n-1}$]
$\frac{dV}{dt} = 4 \pi r^2 \frac{dr}{dt}$
Substitute the known values ($r = 1 \, \text{cm}$ and $\frac{dr}{dt} = \frac{1}{2} \, \text{cm/s}$) into the derived expression:
$\frac{dV}{dt} = 4 \pi (1)^2 \cdot \left( \frac{1}{2} \right)$
$\frac{dV}{dt} = 4 \pi \cdot 1 \cdot \frac{1}{2}$
$\frac{dV}{dt} = 2 \pi \, \text{cm}^3/\text{s}$
Final Solution: The volume of the air bubble is increasing at the rate of $2\pi \, \text{cm}^3/\text{s}$.
Solution:
Let $r$ represent the radius of the circle at any time $t$, and $A$ represent the area of the circle. We are provided with the following information:
The area $A$ of a circle in terms of its radius $r$ is given by the formula [Per the standard formula for the area of a circle]:
$A = \pi r^2$
To find the rate of change of the area with respect to time, we apply the Chain Rule of calculus [By the Chain Rule: $\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{dA}{dr} \cdot \frac{dr}{dt}$]:
$\frac{d}{dt}(A) = \frac{d}{dt}(\pi r^2)$
$\frac{dA}{dt} = \pi \cdot \frac{d}{dr}(r^2) \cdot \frac{dr}{dt}$
$\frac{dA}{dt} = \pi \cdot (2r) \cdot \frac{dr}{dt}$
$\frac{dA}{dt} = 2\pi r \frac{dr}{dt}$
Substitute the given values $r = 10 \text{ cm}$ and $\frac{dr}{dt} = 3 \text{ cm/s}$ into the derived equation:
$\frac{dA}{dt} = 2 \cdot \pi \cdot (10 \text{ cm}) \cdot (3 \text{ cm/s})$
$\frac{dA}{dt} = 60\pi \text{ cm}^2/\text{s}$
| Variable | Value |
|---|---|
| Radius ($r$) | $10 \text{ cm}$ |
| Rate of Radius Change ($\frac{dr}{dt}$) | $3 \text{ cm/s}$ |
| Rate of Area Change ($\frac{dA}{dt}$) | $60\pi \text{ cm}^2/\text{s}$ |
Final Solution: The area of the circle is increasing at the rate of $60\pi \text{ cm}^2/\text{s}$.
Solution:
Let $x$ represent the length of the edge of the cube in cm. Let $V$ represent the volume of the cube and $S$ represent the surface area of the cube.
The geometric formulas for a cube with edge $x$ are:
Differentiating $V = x^3$ with respect to time $t$ using the chain rule [Per the Chain Rule of Differentiation]:
$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(x^3) = 3x^2 \frac{dx}{dt}$
Substitute the given values into the derivative expression:
$8 = 3(12)^2 \frac{dx}{dt}$
$8 = 3(144) \frac{dx}{dt}$
$8 = 432 \frac{dx}{dt}$
$\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{8}{432} = \frac{1}{54} \text{ cm/s}$
Differentiating $S = 6x^2$ with respect to time $t$ using the chain rule:
$\frac{dS}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(6x^2) = 12x \frac{dx}{dt}$
Substitute $x = 12$ and $\frac{dx}{dt} = \frac{1}{54}$ into the equation derived in Step 4:
$\frac{dS}{dt} = 12(12) \left( \frac{1}{54} \right)$
$\frac{dS}{dt} = \frac{144}{54}$
Simplifying the fraction by dividing both numerator and denominator by their greatest common divisor ($18$):
$\frac{dS}{dt} = \frac{144 \div 18}{54 \div 18} = \frac{8}{3} \text{ cm}^2/\text{s}$
Final Solution: The surface area is increasing at a rate of $\frac{8}{3} \text{ cm}^2/\text{s}$.
Solution:
The volume $V$ of a sphere with radius $r$ is given by the formula: $V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3$ [Standard formula for volume of a sphere]
The problem states the diameter $D$ is a function of $x$: $D(x) = \frac{3}{2}(2x + 1)$
Since the radius $r$ is half of the diameter, we define $r$ as: $r = \frac{D}{2} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot \left[ \frac{3}{2}(2x + 1) \right] = \frac{3}{4}(2x + 1)$
Substitute the expression for $r$ into the volume formula to express $V$ as a function of $x$: $V(x) = \frac{4}{3}\pi \left[ \frac{3}{4}(2x + 1) \right]^3$
Expanding the cube: $V(x) = \frac{4}{3}\pi \cdot \left( \frac{3}{4} \right)^3 \cdot (2x + 1)^3$ $V(x) = \frac{4}{3}\pi \cdot \frac{27}{64} \cdot (2x + 1)^3$
Simplifying the coefficients: $V(x) = \left( \frac{4}{64} \right) \cdot \left( \frac{27}{3} \right) \cdot \pi \cdot (2x + 1)^3$ $V(x) = \frac{1}{16} \cdot 9 \cdot \pi \cdot (2x + 1)^3$ $V(x) = \frac{9\pi}{16}(2x + 1)^3$
To find the rate of change of volume with respect to $x$, we compute $\frac{dV}{dx}$ using the Chain Rule [Per the Chain Rule of differentiation, $\frac{d}{dx}[f(g(x))] = f'(g(x)) \cdot g'(x)$]:
$\frac{dV}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx} \left[ \frac{9\pi}{16}(2x + 1)^3 \right]$ $\frac{dV}{dx} = \frac{9\pi}{16} \cdot \frac{d}{dx} \left[ (2x + 1)^3 \right]$
Applying the Power Rule $\frac{d}{dx}u^n = nu^{n-1} \frac{du}{dx}$: $\frac{dV}{dx} = \frac{9\pi}{16} \cdot 3(2x + 1)^2 \cdot \frac{d}{dx}(2x + 1)$ $\frac{dV}{dx} = \frac{27\pi}{16} \cdot (2x + 1)^2 \cdot (2)$
$\frac{dV}{dx} = \frac{54\pi}{16} (2x + 1)^2$ Reducing the fraction $\frac{54}{16}$ by a factor of 2: $\frac{dV}{dx} = \frac{27\pi}{8} (2x + 1)^2$
Final Solution: The rate of change of the volume with respect to $x$ is $\frac{27\pi}{8}(2x + 1)^2$.
Solution:
The object is a sphere with a variable radius $r$. The volume $V$ of a sphere is defined by the geometric formula:
$V = \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3$
[By the geometric definition of the volume of a sphere]
We are required to find the rate of change of volume $V$ with respect to the radius $r$. This is expressed mathematically as the derivative $\frac{dV}{dr}$.
Applying the power rule for differentiation, $\frac{d}{dx}(x^n) = nx^{n-1}$, where $n=3$:
$\frac{dV}{dr} = \frac{d}{dr} \left( \frac{4}{3} \pi r^3 \right)$
$\frac{dV}{dr} = \frac{4}{3} \pi \cdot (3r^2)$
$\frac{dV}{dr} = 4 \pi r^2$
[By the Power Rule of Differentiation and the linearity of the derivative operator]
Given that the radius $r = 10 \text{ cm}$, we substitute this value into the derived expression for the rate of change:
$\left. \frac{dV}{dr} \right|_{r=10} = 4 \pi (10)^2$
$\left. \frac{dV}{dr} \right|_{r=10} = 4 \pi (100)$
$\left. \frac{dV}{dr} \right|_{r=10} = 400 \pi$
The units for volume are $\text{cm}^3$ and for radius are $\text{cm}$. Therefore, the rate of change $\frac{dV}{dr}$ is expressed in $\text{cm}^3/\text{cm}$, which simplifies to $\text{cm}^2$.
| Variable | Value |
|---|---|
| Radius ($r$) | $10 \text{ cm}$ |
| Rate of change formula | $4 \pi r^2$ |
| Final Result | $400 \pi \text{ cm}^2$ |
Final Solution: The rate at which the volume of the balloon is increasing with respect to the radius is $400 \pi \text{ cm}^2$.
Solution:
Let the wall lie along the $y$-axis and the ground along the $x$-axis. Let the position of the ladder be represented by the hypotenuse of a right-angled triangle, where the base $x$ represents the distance of the foot of the ladder from the wall, and the height $y$ represents the height of the ladder on the wall.
By the [Pythagorean Theorem], in a right-angled triangle with hypotenuse $L$:
$x^2 + y^2 = L^2$
$x^2 + y^2 = 5^2 = 25$ --- (Equation 1)
Differentiating Equation 1 with respect to $t$ using the [Chain Rule]:
$\frac{d}{dt}(x^2) + \frac{d}{dt}(y^2) = \frac{d}{dt}(25)$
$2x \frac{dx}{dt} + 2y \frac{dy}{dt} = 0$
$x \frac{dx}{dt} + y \frac{dy}{dt} = 0$ --- (Equation 2)
When $x = 4\text{ m}$, we substitute into Equation 1 to find $y$:
$4^2 + y^2 = 25$
$16 + y^2 = 25 \implies y^2 = 9 \implies y = 3\text{ m}$
Substitute $x = 4\text{ m}$, $y = 3\text{ m}$, and $\frac{dx}{dt} = 0.02\text{ m/s}$ into Equation 2:
$4(0.02) + 3 \left( \frac{dy}{dt} \right) = 0$
$0.08 + 3 \frac{dy}{dt} = 0$
$3 \frac{dy}{dt} = -0.08$
$\frac{dy}{dt} = -\frac{0.08}{3} \text{ m/s} \approx -0.0267 \text{ m/s}$
Converting back to cm/s: $-\frac{0.08}{3} \times 100 = -\frac{8}{3} \text{ cm/s} \approx -2.67 \text{ cm/s}$.
Final Solution: The height of the ladder on the wall is decreasing at the rate of $\frac{8}{3}$ cm/s (or approximately $2.67$ cm/s).
Solution:
To find the relationship between the rate of change of volume and the rate of change of radius, we differentiate the volume formula with respect to time $t$ using the Chain Rule [Per the Chain Rule in Calculus]:
$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt} \left( \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3 \right)$
$\frac{dV}{dt} = \frac{4}{3}\pi \cdot (3r^2) \cdot \frac{dr}{dt}$
$\frac{dV}{dt} = 4\pi r^2 \cdot \frac{dr}{dt}$
Substitute $\frac{dV}{dt} = 900$ and $r = 15$ into the derived equation:
$900 = 4\pi (15)^2 \cdot \frac{dr}{dt}$
Calculate the square of the radius:
$900 = 4\pi (225) \cdot \frac{dr}{dt}$
$900 = 900\pi \cdot \frac{dr}{dt}$
Divide both sides by $900\pi$:
$\frac{dr}{dt} = \frac{900}{900\pi}$
$\frac{dr}{dt} = \frac{1}{\pi}$
Since the volume is in $\text{cm}^3/\text{s}$ and the radius is in $\text{cm}$, the rate of change of the radius must be in units of $\text{cm/s}$.
Final Solution: The radius of the balloon is increasing at a rate of $\frac{1}{\pi} \text{ cm/s}$ when the radius is $15 \text{ cm}$.
Solution:
The marginal cost ($MC$) represents the instantaneous rate of change of the total cost function $C(x)$ with respect to the number of units $x$ produced. Mathematically, it is defined as the first derivative of the total cost function [Per the definition of derivative as the rate of change]:
$MC = \frac{d}{dx}[C(x)]$
Given the total cost function: $C(x) = 0.007x^3 - 0.003x^2 + 15x + 4000$.
Applying the Power Rule $\frac{d}{dx}(ax^n) = anx^{n-1}$ to each term individually [Per the linearity property of differentiation]:
$\frac{d}{dx}(0.007x^3) = 0.007 \cdot 3x^2 = 0.021x^2$
$\frac{d}{dx}(-0.003x^2) = -0.003 \cdot 2x = -0.006x$
$\frac{d}{dx}(15x) = 15 \cdot 1 = 15$
$\frac{d}{dx}(4000) = 0$ [Since the derivative of a constant is zero]
Thus, $MC(x) = 0.021x^2 - 0.006x + 15$.
Substitute $x = 17$ into the expression for $MC(x)$:
$MC(17) = 0.021(17)^2 - 0.006(17) + 15$
$MC(17) = 0.021(289) - 0.102 + 15$
$MC(17) = 6.069 - 0.102 + 15$
$MC(17) = 5.967 + 15$
$MC(17) = 20.967$
Final Solution: The marginal cost when 17 units are produced is Rupees 20.967.
Solution:
Let $r$ represent the radius of the circular wave at any time $t$, and let $A$ represent the area of the circular wave at any time $t$.
The area $A$ of a circle with radius $r$ is defined by the geometric formula:
$A = \pi r^2$ [Definition of Area of a Circle]
To determine the rate of change of the area, we differentiate both sides of the equation with respect to $t$ using the Chain Rule of calculus:
$\frac{dA}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(\pi r^2)$
$\frac{dA}{dt} = \pi \cdot \frac{d}{dr}(r^2) \cdot \frac{dr}{dt}$ [By Chain Rule of Differentiation]
$\frac{dA}{dt} = 2\pi r \cdot \frac{dr}{dt}$
Substitute the given values $r = 8 \text{ cm}$ and $\frac{dr}{dt} = 5 \text{ cm/s}$ into the derived expression:
$\frac{dA}{dt} = 2 \cdot \pi \cdot (8 \text{ cm}) \cdot (5 \text{ cm/s})$
$\frac{dA}{dt} = 2 \cdot \pi \cdot 40 \text{ cm}^2/\text{s}$
$\frac{dA}{dt} = 80\pi \text{ cm}^2/\text{s}$
The units are verified as follows: $[L] \times [L/T] = [L^2/T]$. Since the area is measured in $\text{cm}^2$ and time in $\text{s}$, the rate of change is in $\text{cm}^2/\text{s}$, which is consistent with the physics of the problem.
Final Solution: The enclosed area is increasing at a rate of $80\pi \text{ cm}^2/\text{s}$.
Solution:
Let $r$ represent the radius of the circle and $C$ represent its circumference. The rate of change of the radius with respect to time $t$ is given as a constant value.
To find the rate of increase of the circumference, we must differentiate the circumference equation with respect to time $t$ using the Chain Rule of calculus [Per the Chain Rule of Differentiation: $\frac{d}{dt}f(r) = \frac{df}{dr} \cdot \frac{dr}{dt}$].
Taking the derivative of both sides of $C = 2\pi r$ with respect to $t$:
$$\frac{dC}{dt} = \frac{d}{dt}(2\pi r)$$
Since $2$ and $\pi$ are constants, we extract them from the derivative operator:
$$\frac{dC}{dt} = 2\pi \cdot \frac{dr}{dt}$$
Substitute the given value $\frac{dr}{dt} = 0.7 \, \text{cm/s}$ into the derived equation:
$$\frac{dC}{dt} = 2 \cdot \pi \cdot (0.7)$$
$$\frac{dC}{dt} = 1.4\pi \, \text{cm/s}$$
Using the standard approximation $\pi \approx \frac{22}{7}$ for a numerical decimal representation:
$$\frac{dC}{dt} = 1.4 \cdot \frac{22}{7} = 0.2 \cdot 22 = 4.4 \, \text{cm/s}$$
Final Solution: The rate of increase of the circumference is $1.4\pi \, \text{cm/s}$ or approximately $4.4 \, \text{cm/s}$.
Solution:
Let the edge length of the variable cube be denoted by $x$ (in cm) and its volume be denoted by $V$ (in $\text{cm}^3$). We are given the rate of change of the edge with respect to time $t$:
$\frac{dx}{dt} = 3 \text{ cm/s}$
We are required to determine the rate of change of the volume, $\frac{dV}{dt}$, at the specific instant when:
$x = 10 \text{ cm}$
The volume $V$ of a cube with edge length $x$ is defined by the geometric formula:
$V = x^3$ [Geometric definition of cubic volume]
To find the rate of change of the volume, we differentiate the volume formula with respect to time $t$ using the Chain Rule of calculus [Per the Chain Rule of Differentiation]:
$\frac{d}{dt}(V) = \frac{d}{dt}(x^3)$
$\frac{dV}{dt} = 3x^2 \cdot \frac{dx}{dt}$ [Applying the Power Rule $n \cdot x^{n-1}$ followed by the Chain Rule]
Substitute the known values ($x = 10 \text{ cm}$ and $\frac{dx}{dt} = 3 \text{ cm/s}$) into the derived derivative equation:
$\frac{dV}{dt} = 3(10 \text{ cm})^2 \cdot (3 \text{ cm/s})$
$\frac{dV}{dt} = 3(100 \text{ cm}^2) \cdot (3 \text{ cm/s})$
$\frac{dV}{dt} = 900 \text{ cm}^3\text{/s}$
Final Solution: The volume of the cube is increasing at a rate of 900 cm³/s.
Solution:
The total revenue function $R(x)$ represents the total income generated from selling $x$ units. In economic mathematics, the Marginal Revenue (MR) is defined as the instantaneous rate of change of the total revenue with respect to the number of units sold. Mathematically, this is expressed as the derivative of the revenue function with respect to $x$:
$MR = \frac{dR}{dx}$ [Per the definition of marginal analysis in calculus]
Given the revenue function:
$R(x) = 13x^2 + 26x + 15$
To find the marginal revenue, we apply the power rule of differentiation, $\frac{d}{dx}(ax^n) = anx^{n-1}$, to each term in the polynomial:
$\frac{dR}{dx} = \frac{d}{dx}(13x^2) + \frac{d}{dx}(26x) + \frac{d}{dx}(15)$
$\frac{dR}{dx} = 13(2x^{2-1}) + 26(1x^{1-1}) + 0$ [By the constant rule of differentiation, $\frac{d}{dx}(C) = 0$]
$MR(x) = 26x + 26$
To find the specific marginal revenue when $7$ units are sold, we substitute $x = 7$ into the derived function $MR(x)$:
$MR(7) = 26(7) + 26$
$MR(7) = 182 + 26$
$MR(7) = 208$
| Variable | Value |
|---|---|
| Function $R(x)$ | $13x^2 + 26x + 15$ |
| Derivative $R'(x)$ | $26x + 26$ |
| Input $x$ | $7$ |
| Result | $208$ |
Final Solution: The marginal revenue when $x = 7$ is Rs $208$.
Solution:
Let the area of a circle be denoted by $A$ and its radius by $r$. The relationship between the area and the radius is defined by the fundamental geometric formula:
$A = \pi r^2$ [Per the definition of the area of a circle in Euclidean geometry]
To find the rate of change of the area with respect to the radius, we must calculate the derivative of $A$ with respect to $r$. This is denoted as $\frac{dA}{dr}$.
$\frac{dA}{dr} = \frac{d}{dr}(\pi r^2)$
Applying the Power Rule of differentiation, where $\frac{d}{dr}(r^n) = nr^{n-1}$ [By the Power Rule of Calculus]:
$\frac{dA}{dr} = \pi \cdot (2r^{2-1})$
$\frac{dA}{dr} = 2\pi r$
The problem requests the rate of change when the radius $r = 4$ cm. Substituting $r = 4$ into our derivative function:
$\left. \frac{dA}{dr} \right|_{r=4} = 2 \cdot \pi \cdot 4$
$\left. \frac{dA}{dr} \right|_{r=4} = 8\pi$
The units for $\frac{dA}{dr}$ are calculated as $\frac{\text{units of Area}}{\text{units of Length}} = \frac{\text{cm}^2}{\text{cm}} = \text{cm}$.
Final Solution: The rate of change of the area of the circle with respect to its radius when $r = 4$ cm is $8\pi$ $\text{cm}^2/\text{cm}$ (or $8\pi$ $\text{cm}$).
Solution:
The movement of the particle is constrained by the curve equation:
$6y = x^3 + 2$
Differentiating both sides of the equation with respect to time $t$ using the Chain Rule [Per the rules of Implicit Differentiation]:
$\frac{d}{dt}(6y) = \frac{d}{dt}(x^3 + 2)$
$6 \frac{dy}{dt} = 3x^2 \frac{dx}{dt} + 0$
$6 \frac{dy}{dt} = 3x^2 \frac{dx}{dt}$
The problem states that the $y$-coordinate is changing $8$ times as fast as the $x$-coordinate. This is expressed mathematically as:
$\frac{dy}{dt} = 8 \frac{dx}{dt}$
Substitute this relation into the differentiated equation obtained in Step 1:
$6(8 \frac{dx}{dt}) = 3x^2 \frac{dx}{dt}$
$48 \frac{dx}{dt} = 3x^2 \frac{dx}{dt}$
Assuming the particle is in motion ($\frac{dx}{dt} \neq 0$), we divide both sides by $\frac{dx}{dt}$:
$48 = 3x^2$
$x^2 = \frac{48}{3}$
$x^2 = 16$
$x = \pm 4$
We substitute the values of $x$ back into the original curve equation $6y = x^3 + 2$ to find the corresponding points.
Case 1: When $x = 4$
$6y = (4)^3 + 2$
$6y = 64 + 2$
$6y = 66 \implies y = 11$
Point: $(4, 11)$
Case 2: When $x = -4$
$6y = (-4)^3 + 2$
$6y = -64 + 2$
$6y = -62 \implies y = -\frac{62}{6} = -\frac{31}{3}$
Point: $(-4, -\frac{31}{3})$
Final Solution: The required points on the curve are $(4, 11)$ and $(-4, -\frac{31}{3})$.
