inscribed in a cone with height 15 cm and base radius 7 cm. (make a diagram!)
(5)
11) Use differentials to approximate the maximum error in the
calculated volume of a sphere if the radius measures 12 inches
with an error in measurement of ! 0.06 inches.
(4)
12) A point P(x, y) moves along the graph of y 2 = x 2 - 9
such that dx/dt = 1/x units/sec. Find dy/dt at the point (5, 4).
(4)
.
13) A civil engineer is designing a "sound-blocking wall" for a
housing development situated near a highway curve.
The curve follows the rule
The diagram is a scaled down version of the situation.
Find the coordinates of T, the point to build the wall for maximum
sound-blocking effect. The wall must be parallel to the line PQ.
(5)
14) Find the most general antiderivative of
a)  |
b)  |
c)  (hint: divide) |
(6)
15) Solve these differential equations subject to the given conditions:
| a) f '"(x) = 6x, f "(0) = 2, f '(0) = -1, f(0) = 4 | b) f "(x) = x + cos x, f '(0) = 2, f(0) = 1 |
(6)
16) A point moves on a coordinate line with a(t) = 2 - 6t.
If the initial conditions are v(0) = -5, and s(0) = 4, find s(t).
{reminder: if s(t) is the position function, v(t) = s '(t) and a(t) = s "(t).}
