Q. The following function gives the cost, in dollars, of producing

x

gallons of wood stain:

\newline

C(x)=0.0004 x^{3}-0.001 x^{2}+0.1 x+3200

\newline

What is the instantaneous rate of change of the cost when

100

gallons are produced?

\newline

Choose

1

answer:

\newline

(A)

11

.

9

dollars

\newline

(B)

11

.

9

dollars per gallon

\newline

(C)

3600

\newline

(D)

Calculate Derivative: To find the instantaneous rate of change, we need to calculate the derivative of the cost function $C(x)$ with respect to $x$ .
Find $C'(x)$ : Differentiate $C(x) = 0.0004x^3 - 0.001x^2 + 0.1x + 3200$ with respect to $x$ to get $C'(x)$ . $\newline$ $C'(x) = 0.0012x^2 - 0.002x + 0.1$
Substitute $x=100$ : Plug in $x = 100$ into $C'(x)$ to find the rate of change at that point. $\newline$ $C'(100) = 0.0012(100)^2 - 0.002(100) + 0.1$
Calculate $C'(100)$ : Calculate the value of $C'(100)$ .
$C'(100) = 0.0012(10000) - 0.002(100) + 0.1$
$C'(100) = 12 - 0.2 + 0.1$
$C'(100) = 11.9$

Question

Chinedu was given this problem:

\newline

A person stands at a distance of

18

meters east of an intersection and watches a car driving away from the intersection to the north at

3

meters per second. The function

y(t)

gives the car's distance, in meters, north of the intersection at time

t

. At a certain instant

t_{0}

\theta\left(t_{0}\right)

between the line of sight from the person to the car and the line of sight from the person to the intersection is

0

7

radians. What is the rate of change of the angle

\theta(t)

at that instant?

\newline

Which equation should Chinedu use to solve the problem?

\newline

1

\newline

\tan [\theta(t)]=\frac{y(t)}{18}

\newline

\theta(t)=\frac{18 \cdot y(t)}{2}

\newline

\theta(t)+18+y(t)=180

\newline

[\theta(t)]^{2}=18^{2}+[y(t)]^{2}

8

centimeters. What is the rate of change of the area

A(t)

of the circle at that instant?

\newline

Which equation should Steve use to solve the problem?

\newline

1

\newline

A(t)=2 \pi \cdot r(t)
