#### Question 1:

The rate of change of $\sqrt{{x}^{2}+16}$ with respect to $\frac{x}{x-1}$ at x = 3 is ________________.

Let $u\left(x\right)=\sqrt{{x}^{2}+16}$ and $v\left(x\right)=\frac{x}{x-1}$.

$u\left(x\right)=\sqrt{{x}^{2}+16}$

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

$\frac{du}{dx}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{{x}^{2}+16}}×2x=\frac{x}{\sqrt{{x}^{2}+16}}$

$v\left(x\right)=\frac{x}{x-1}$

Differentiating both sides with respect to x, we get

$\frac{dv}{dx}=\frac{\left(x-1\right)×1-x×1}{{\left(x-1\right)}^{2}}=-\frac{1}{{\left(x-1\right)}^{2}}$

Now,

Rate of change of u(x) with respect to v(x)

$=\frac{du}{dv}$

$=\frac{\frac{du}{dx}}{\frac{dv}{dx}}$

$=\frac{\frac{x}{\sqrt{{x}^{2}+16}}}{-\frac{1}{{\left(x-1\right)}^{2}}}$

$=-\frac{x{\left(x-1\right)}^{2}}{\sqrt{{x}^{2}+16}}$

∴ Rate of change of u(x) with respect to v(x) at x = 3

$={\left(\frac{du}{dv}\right)}_{x=3}$

$=-\frac{3×{\left(3-1\right)}^{2}}{\sqrt{{3}^{2}+16}}$

$=-\frac{12}{5}$

Thus, the rate of change of  $\sqrt{{x}^{2}+16}$ with respect to $\frac{x}{x-1}$ at x = 3 is $-\frac{12}{5}$.

The rate of change of $\sqrt{{x}^{2}+16}$ with respect to $\frac{x}{x-1}$ at x = 3 is .

#### Question 2:

The rate of change of the surface are of a sphere of radius r when the radius is increasing at the rate of 2 cm/sec is _________________.

Let r be the radius of sphere at any time t.

It is given that,

$\frac{dr}{dt}$ = 2 cm/sec

Surface area of the sphere, S = 4$\mathrm{\pi }$r2

S = 4$\mathrm{\pi }$r2

Differentiating both sides with respect to t, we get

$\frac{dS}{dt}=4\mathrm{\pi }\frac{d}{dt}{r}^{2}$

$⇒\frac{dS}{dt}=4\mathrm{\pi }×2r\frac{dr}{dt}$

$⇒\frac{dS}{dt}=8\mathrm{\pi }r\frac{dr}{dt}$

Putting $\frac{dr}{dt}$ = 2 cm/sec, we get

$\frac{dS}{dt}=8\mathrm{\pi }r×2$ = 16$\mathrm{\pi }$r cm2/sec

Thus, the rate of change of the surface are of a sphere of radius r when the radius is increasing at the rate of 2 cm/sec is 16$\mathrm{\pi }$r cm2/sec.

The rate of change of the surface are of a sphere of radius r when the radius is increasing at the rate of 2 cm/sec is ___16$\mathrm{\pi }$r cm2/sec___.

#### Question 3:

The diagonal of a square is changing at the rate of $\frac{1}{2}\mathrm{cm}/\mathrm{sec}.$ Then the rate of change of area, when the area is 400 cm2, is equal to ____________________.

Let the side of the square be x cm at any time t.

∴ Length of the diagonal of square, l = $\sqrt{2}$ × Side of square = $\sqrt{2}x$

$l=\sqrt{2}x$

Differentiating both sides with respect to t, we get

$\frac{dl}{dt}=\sqrt{2}×\frac{dx}{dt}$

It is given that, $\frac{dl}{dt}=\frac{1}{2}$ cm/sec

$\therefore \frac{1}{2}=\sqrt{2}×\frac{dx}{dt}$

$⇒\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}$ cm/sec

Now,

Area of the square, A = x2

A = x2

Differentiating both sides with respect to t, we get

$\frac{dA}{dt}=2x\frac{dx}{dt}$      .....(1)

When A = 400 cm2,

x2 = 400 cm2 = (20 cm)2

x = 20 cm

Putting x = 20 cm and $\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}$ cm/sec in (1), we get

$\frac{dA}{dt}=2×20×\frac{1}{2\sqrt{2}}=10\sqrt{2}$ cm2/sec

Thus, the rate of change of area of the square is $10\sqrt{2}$ cm2/sec.

The diagonal of a square is changing at the rate of $\frac{1}{2}\mathrm{cm}/\mathrm{sec}.$ Then the rate of change of area, when the area is 400 cm2, is equal to .

#### Question 4:

The rate of change of volume of a sphere with respect to its surface area, when the radius is 2 cm, is _________________.

Let r be the radius of the sphere at any time t.

Volume of the sphere, V$\frac{4}{3}\mathrm{\pi }{r}^{3}$

$V=\frac{4}{3}\mathrm{\pi }{r}^{3}$

Differentiating both sides with respect to r, we get

$\frac{dV}{dr}=\frac{4}{3}\mathrm{\pi }×\frac{d}{dr}{r}^{3}$

$⇒\frac{dV}{dr}=\frac{4}{3}\mathrm{\pi }×3{r}^{2}$

$⇒\frac{dV}{dr}=4\mathrm{\pi }{r}^{2}$

Surface area of the sphere, S = $4\mathrm{\pi }{r}^{2}$

$S=4\mathrm{\pi }{r}^{2}$

Differentiating both sides with respect to r, we get

$\frac{dS}{dr}=4\mathrm{\pi }×\frac{d}{dr}{r}^{2}$

$⇒\frac{dS}{dr}=4\mathrm{\pi }×2r$

$⇒\frac{dS}{dr}=8\mathrm{\pi }r$

Now, rate of change of volume of a sphere with respect to its surface area

$=\frac{dV}{dS}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\frac{\frac{dV}{dr}}{\frac{dS}{dr}}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\frac{4\mathrm{\pi }{r}^{2}}{8\mathrm{\pi }r}\phantom{\rule{0ex}{0ex}}=\frac{r}{2}$

When r = 2 cm, we get

= 1 cm

Thus, the rate of change of volume of a sphere with respect to its surface area when the radius is 2 cm is 1 cm.

The rate of change of volume of a sphere with respect to its surface area, when the radius is 2 cm, is ____1 cm____.

#### Question 5:

The angle  which increases twice as fast as its sine, is _________________.

Let angle θ increase twice as fast as its sine.

It is given that,

$\frac{d\theta }{dt}=2\frac{d}{dt}\left(\mathrm{sin}\theta \right)$

$⇒\frac{d\theta }{dt}=2\mathrm{cos}\theta \frac{d\theta }{dt}$

$⇒2\mathrm{cos}\theta =1$

$⇒\mathrm{cos}\theta =\frac{1}{2}=\mathrm{cos}\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{3}$

Thus, the angle θ is $\frac{\mathrm{\pi }}{3}$.

The angle  which increases twice as fast as its sine, is .

#### Question 6:

The sides of an equilateral triangle are increasing at the rate of 2 cm/sec. The rate at which the area increases, when the side is 10 cm, is _____________.

Let x be the side and A be the area of an equilateral triangle at any time t.

It is given that,

$\frac{dx}{dt}$ = 2 cm/sec

Area of the equilateral triangle, A$\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}{\left(\mathrm{Side}\right)}^{2}$ = $\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}{x}^{2}$

$A=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}{x}^{2}$

Differentiating both sides with respect to t, we get

$\frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}×\frac{d}{dt}{x}^{2}$

$⇒\frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}×2x\frac{dx}{dt}$

$⇒\frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}x\frac{dx}{dt}$

When x = 10 cm and $\frac{dx}{dt}$ = 2 cm/sec, we get

$\frac{dA}{dt}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}×10×2$

$⇒\frac{dA}{dt}=10\sqrt{3}$ cm2/sec

Thus, the area of the equilateral triangle increases at the rate of $10\sqrt{3}$ cm2/sec.

The sides of an equilateral triangle are increasing at the rate of 2 cm/sec. The rate at which the area increases, when the side is 10 cm, is .

#### Question 7:

Gas is being pumped into a spherical balloon at the rate of 30 cm3/min. The rate at which the radius increases when it reaches the value 15 cm, is ___________.

Let r be the radius and V be the volume of the balloon at time t.

It is given that, $\frac{dV}{dt}$ = 30 cm3/min

Now,

Volume of the spherical balloon, V$\frac{4}{3}\mathrm{\pi }{r}^{3}$

$V=\frac{4}{3}\mathrm{\pi }{r}^{3}$

Differentiating both sides with respect to t, we get

$\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}\left(\frac{4}{3}\mathrm{\pi }{r}^{3}\right)$

$⇒\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{4}{3}\mathrm{\pi }×3{r}^{2}\frac{dr}{dt}$

$⇒\frac{dV}{dt}=4\mathrm{\pi }{r}^{2}\frac{dr}{dt}$

When r = 15 cm and $\frac{dV}{dt}$ = 30 cm3/min, we get

$30=4\mathrm{\pi }×{\left(15\right)}^{2}\frac{dr}{dt}$

$⇒\frac{dr}{dt}=\frac{30}{4\mathrm{\pi }×{\left(15\right)}^{2}}$

$⇒\frac{dr}{dt}=\frac{1}{30\mathrm{\pi }}$ cm/min

Thus, the radius of the balloon is increasing at the rate of $\frac{1}{30\mathrm{\pi }}$ cm/min.

Gas is being pumped into a spherical balloon at the rate of 30 cm3/min. The rate at which the radius increases when it reaches the value 15 cm, is .

#### Question 8:

The distance s described by a particle in t seconds is given by $s=a{e}^{t}+\frac{b}{{e}^{t}}$. Then the acceleration of the particle at time t is equal to _____________.

It is given that, the distance s described by a particle in t seconds is given by $s=a{e}^{t}+\frac{b}{{e}^{t}}$.

The acceleration of the particle at time t is given by $\frac{{d}^{2}s}{d{t}^{2}}$.

$s=a{e}^{t}+\frac{b}{{e}^{t}}$

Differentiating both sides with respect to t, we get

$\frac{ds}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}\left(a{e}^{t}+\frac{b}{{e}^{t}}\right)$

$⇒\frac{ds}{dt}=\frac{d}{dt}\left(a{e}^{t}+b{e}^{-t}\right)$

$⇒\frac{ds}{dt}=a{e}^{t}+b{e}^{-t}×\left(-1\right)$

$⇒\frac{ds}{dt}=a{e}^{t}-b{e}^{-t}$

Again differentiating both sides with respect to t, we get

$\frac{d}{dt}\left(\frac{ds}{dt}\right)=\frac{d}{dt}\left(a{e}^{t}-b{e}^{-t}\right)$

$⇒\frac{{d}^{2}s}{d{t}^{2}}=a{e}^{t}-b{e}^{-t}×\left(-1\right)$

$⇒\frac{{d}^{2}s}{d{t}^{2}}=a{e}^{t}+\frac{b}{{e}^{t}}$ = s

Thus, the acceleration of the particle at time t is $a{e}^{t}+\frac{b}{{e}^{t}}$.

The distance s described by a particle in t seconds is given by $s=a{e}^{t}+\frac{b}{{e}^{t}}$. Then the acceleration of the particle at time t is equal to .

It is given that, $\frac{dV}{dt}$ = 5 cm3/sec

The volume V and depth x of water in a vessel are connected by the relation V $=5x-\frac{{x}^{2}}{6}$.

$V=5x-\frac{{x}^{2}}{6}$

Differentiating both sides with respect to t, we get

$\frac{dV}{dt}=5\frac{dx}{dt}-\frac{2x}{6}\frac{dx}{dt}$

$⇒\frac{dV}{dt}=\left(5-\frac{x}{3}\right)\frac{dx}{dt}$

When x = 2 cm and $\frac{dV}{dt}$ = 5 cm3/sec, we get

$5=\left(5-\frac{2}{3}\right)\frac{dx}{dt}$

$⇒\frac{dx}{dt}=\frac{15}{13}$ cm/sec

Thus, depth of water is increasing at the rate of $\frac{15}{13}$ cm/sec.

The volume V and depth x of water in a vessel are connected by the relation V $=5x-\frac{{x}^{2}}{6}$ and the volume of water is increasing the rate of 5 cm3/sec, when x = 2 cm. The rate of which the depth of water is increasing is equal to .

#### Question 10:

Water is flowing into a vertical cylindrical tank of radius 2 ft at the rate of 8 cubic/minute. The rate at which the water level is rising, is _______________.

Let h be the water level in the cylindrical tank at time t minutes.

Radius of the cylinder, r = 2 ft

∴ Volume of the water in the cylindrical tank at time tV = $\mathrm{\pi }{r}^{2}h$ = $\mathrm{\pi }×{\left(2\right)}^{2}×h$

$V=4\mathrm{\pi }h$

Differentiating both sides with respect to t, we get

$\frac{dV}{dt}=4\mathrm{\pi }×\frac{dh}{dt}$

Now,

$\frac{dV}{dt}$ = 8 cubic feet/minute     (Given)

$\therefore 8=4\mathrm{\pi }×\frac{dh}{dt}$

$⇒\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{8}{4\mathrm{\pi }}=\frac{2}{\mathrm{\pi }}$ ft/min

Thus, the water level in the tank is rising at the rate of $\frac{2}{\mathrm{\pi }}$ feet/minute.

Water is flowing into a vertical cylindrical tank of radius 2 ft at the rate of 8 cubic/minute. The rate at which the water level is rising, is .

Since, marginal increase in the pollution content is the rate of change of total pollution with respect to the number of diesel vehicles, we have

Marginal increase in pollution = $\frac{dP}{dx}=0.015{x}^{2}+0.04x+30$

When x = 3, marginal increase in pollution = $0.015\left(9\right)+0.04\left(3\right)+30=0.135+0.12+30=30.255$

Hence, the required marginal increase in pollution is 30.255 units.
