Questions I Couldn't Do:
Newton's Universal Law of Gravitation asserts that two point masses m1 and m2 separated by a distance s, attract one another with a force
F = Km1m2/(s^2) , K being a universal constant.
If s = 8 meters, use differentials to estimate the change in s that will decrease the force by 11%
What I got so far
d/ds = ?
d/dF= .110
d/dF = (-2Km1m2)/s) dF/ds
Im kinda stuck from there on out? I can't remember how to do these It will probably come back to me like right away once someone shows me how to do it.
Number 2
Question:
Use differentials to determine approximately what percentage does the perimeter of a square table increase if its diagonal increased from 26cm to 26.351cm. Express answer as a percentage.
p = perimeter = 4x
r = diagonal = sqrt(2x^2)
d/dp = ?
d/dr = .351cm
dp/dx = 4
dr/dx = 1/(2x)
Not sure what to do? I am pretty sure Im screwing something up with my d/d(x)'s... :S
Number 3
The volume of a cube is increased from 512 cubic centimeters to 546.612 cubic cm. Use differentials to determine by approximately how many square cm does the surface area of the cube increase.
v = x^2
SA = 6x^2
d/dv = 34.612cm
I have gotten 2 different answers one was 17.11 by doing simple math and the other was 40.75998 by doing stuff I think is right...
Question 4 I have finished just need someone to check my work
Find slopes of all lines tangent to the graph of the relation:
y^3 + (8x^12)y^2 - 20y = 120 - 120x^2
at the point on the graph where x = 1.
There are 3 answers:
What I did:
Implicitly took the derivative to get:
(240 - 96y^2) / (-3y^2 - 16y + 20) = y'(x)
I then plugged in x = 1 to the original equation to find the y values
Original equation at x(1) = y^3 + 8y^2 - 20
solved: y(y+10)(y-2)
y = 0, -10, and 2.
I then plugged them into the derivative and I know that y'(x) = slope so whatever I got would be the slope.
My 3 slopes were 6, 78, and 12
Question 5
Find the y-coordinate of all points on the curve:
2x + (y + 2)^2 = 0
where the normal line to the curve passes through the point (-63, -122) (not on the curve) (There are 3 y-coords)
What I did
What I do know is that the slope of the normal line to the curve is = -1/m1
but that was basically all I got...
Question 6
I answered just need a check they gave me the answer in the question but I did figure it out using math
Let g be a function such that
g'(x) = -11x^10(sin(kx^7) - 7kx^17(cos(kx^7) , g(1) = 13/7. Where k is the real number given by tan(k) = 1/sqrt48 , 0 < k < pi/2... What is g(1)
HINT: what is d/dx{x^11(sin(kx^7)
g(1) = 13/7...
Question 7 Need a check
Find the curve y = F(x) that passes through the point (-1,0) and satisfies dy/dx = 6x^2 + 6x...
I basically took the integral and found what c was by plugging in the given points... easy.
y = 2x^3 + 3x^2 - 1
Question 8
Let f(x) = 8x^3 - 15x^2 - 3 , x >2
Assume f has an inverse g, find the value of g'(622) given that f(5) = 622
What I did:
used the relation g'(x) = 1/(f'(g(x))
I know the f(5) = 622 also means that g(622) = 5
evaluate for g'(622) = 1/f'(5) = 1/450
Answer = 1/450
Question 9 Need a check
Let f(x) = (1/3)x^3 +9x - 1 and let y = f(inverse)(x) be the inverse function for f. Determine the x-cords of the two points on the graph of the inverse function where the tangent line is perpendicular to the straight line y = -18x + 21.
I had trouble with this guy but I think I figured it out eventually
I know the slope of the straight line is -18. So the slopes of the perpendicular line has to be 1/18.
I then used that if point (a,b) on the inverse function was used on the regular function it would actually be (b,a) on f(x).
I then used the formula m = 1/f'(f(inverse)(a)) which the bolded function is actually equal to b.
1/f'(b) --- I then subbed in b to the d/dx on the original function:
skip a few steps I got:
1/18 = 1/(b^2 + 9)
cross multiply = b^2 + 9 = 18
b = +-3
I then solved for the x-cords to get 89 and 79
