Problem 1
Use implicit differentiation to find an equation of the tangent line to the graph of the given equation at the given point.
- xy2 = 3x + y at point (2,2).
- y1/2x3/2 + xy1/3 = 12 at point (2,8).
- Show for a) that you get the same tangent if you differentiate with respect to y instead of x. In this case youll get a slope dy/dx and youll need to use an appropriate line equation.
Problem 2
- a) A balloon is filled at a rate of 0.001 m3 per second. At what rate is the radius of the balloon increasing when the radius is 20cm? Be aware of units!
- b) An airplane flying horizontally at a height of 8000m with a speed of 500m/s passes directly above an observer on the ground. What is the rate of increase of distance to the observer 1minute later?
Problem 3
- Show that
darccos(x) 1
=
dx 1 x2
(The function y = arccos(x) is the (locally) inverse function of x = cos(y).)
Find all critical points (points where f0(x) = 0) for the following functions, and characterize whether they correspond to a local minimum, a local maximum, or neither.
- f(x) = 2x3 6x + 9
- b) g(x) = 2x3 + 6x + 9
b) h(t) = sin(t) with constant 6= 0
